My overall impression
Randy Noojin is mesmerizing as Woody Guthrie! As the writer of this one man play, Randy Noojin, did excellent research. Woody had so much to tell his audience of union workers. A vast and varied selection of Woody’s music revealed the poverty and struggle for survival of Americans searching for an honest wage for an honest day’s work. To take the play to a deeper level, Noojin created a visual history of Woody’s art work along with archival films and photographs of an era in America where workers began to understand their strength in banding together as one for the common good.
Noojin sings Woody’s songs of the working man with heartache and hope. The audience joined in song and were transported in boxcars on railways across America searching…This land is your land, this land is my land…this land was made for you and me.
