Kaatsbaan and the National Willa Cather Center host this sesquicentennial celebration of Willa Cather, one of the most singular and treasured American writers of the 20th century. Cather’s groundbreaking fiction (O Pioneers!, My Ántonia, One of Ours, Death Comes for the Archbishop) set a new standard in American literature. This special evening of brief selections from her fiction and letters bring to life the uniquely American prose of this Pulitzer Prize–winning author. The evening will feature readings from actors Mary Stuart Masterson and Jeremy Davidson, plus musical performances by Hailey McAvoy (mezzo-soprano), Jonathan Lawlor (baritone), and Nomin Samdan (piano). Selections curated by Foundation Board member Peter Cipkowski.
