Ah, Wilderness! Returns to NAG Stage

Fifty years ago, a group of individuals in a town named Northfield came together to form a community arts organization and staged a production of Ah, Wilderness! This year’s production is one way for us to thank those people who were integral in the forming of the Northfield Arts Guild, and to look back at a slice of our history as a community. This revival production is an important part of the Northfield Arts Guild’s celebration of its 50th Anniversary year.

Eugene O’Neill’s Ah, Wilderness!, written in 1933, is a sweet remembrance of simpler days. The action takes place over the Independence Day weekend of 1906 in an idyllic small town. The play offers a tender retrospective portrait of small town family values, teen age growing pains and young love. Filled with interesting characters and relationships, this play is sure to please audiences today as well as it did fifty years ago.

Tickets, $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors, can be purchased online, by phone (507-645-8877), or in person at the Northfield Arts Guild’s Center for the Arts at 304 Division in Northfield. Performances will be at the NAG Theater at 411 West Third Street in Northfield, October 16, 17, 23, 24 at 7:30 pm and October 18 & 25 at 2:00 pm.
