Sedona News – A brand new live theater production is coming to the Sedona Heritage Museum! From the creative team of Dev Ross and Shondra Jepperson comes “The Dead Quilters Society,” a new musical dramedy. It debuts at the Sedona Heritage Museum on November 1, 2, and 3. Each performance will be preceded by a wine and cheese reception at 4 pm, and the show will begin at 4:30 pm. The reception and performance will take place in the Sedona Heritage Museum’s Apple Shed.

“The Dead Quilters Society” tells the real stories of five women from Sedona’s history, and explores the ripple effects of their actions on our community, some of which are still evident today. The historical women whose stories will be told in this production are Marguerite Staude, Katie Lee, Annie Wauneka, Dora Chavez Madrid, and Fanny Gulick. The cast is truly an all-star lineup: Gail Edwards (Staude), Shondra Jepperson (Lee), Samantha Noelle (Wauneka), Dev Ross (Madrid), and Lisa Glinsky (Gulick).

Dev Ross wrote the script while Shondra Jepperson wrote original music for the show. “Hearing the past through the voices who came before us, is as entertaining and soul stirring as it is eerily prescient,” said playwright Dev Ross. Said songwriter Shondra Jepperson, ““The singing voices of our cast are beautiful and these talented actors also bring to life the essence of these iconic Sedona and Verde Valley women who made such a huge and positive difference in our community.”

Nate Meyers, Executive Director of the Sedona Historical Society and Sedona Heritage Museum, said “I’m excited to host this exciting production! This show is really a live action exhibit, and it sheds a light on some perhaps lesser known but very important figures in our community’s history.”

Tickets are available online at https://sedonamuseum.org/series/the-dead-quilters-society/.

The Sedona Historical Society operates the Sedona Heritage Museum located in Jordan Historical Park, 735 Jordan Road in Uptown Sedona, Arizona. Open daily 11 am – 3 pm. For more information call 928-282-7038 or visit www.sedonamuseum.org.

The Politics of Pain

If there’s one thing nearly every living organism on this planet shares, it is the ability to feel pain. The pain of hunger. Of loneliness. Of illness. The pain of broken bones and broken bodies, broken hearts and broken homes. The pain of poverty, depression, the death of someone we love—and, eventually, the anticipation of our own death. Pain, in all its shapes and shadows, is the one certainty life gives us all. No one escapes it.
