Decemberists: A Cautionary Song--Oregon Trail play, McDonald Theatre 5/21/09

Witness a historical event: The McDonald Theatre, Eugene, OR, date of May the 21st, year of 2009. The beloved Decemberists come to town, and share one of history's greatest tales.

1842, St. Louis, Missouri, we've never heard the tale told in its entirety... until now. Narrated by the witty Colin Meloy, and acted in part by Chris Funk, John Moen, Shara Worden, and Becky Stark, along with an entire audience to Colin's every whim, the story is told in its actual truth.

All of this book-ended by the classic "A Cautionary Song".

Sorry, my memory card ran out just as the song was ending, but the everlasting tale of hardship shall live forever.

Enjoy!
