For more than 75 years, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie books have enthralled children with the stories of pioneer America. The beloved television series, starring Melissa Gilbert as Laura, made the Ingalls family part of our own.

Tonight I had the treat of watching this exciting performance with my daughter Regan, who remembered Little House on the Prarie from the TV show she and her sister watched when they were very small, and then later reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, made all the more interesting and meaningful because they went to Laura Ingalls Wilder elementary school in Littleton.

Tonight's performance captured the strong personalities that settled the frontier when Abe Lincoln's stimulus package, the Homestead Act, was signed into law, and settlers could claim their 160 acres, work it for 5 years, and then own the land free and clear. But it wasn't free, it was hard work with many set backs.

The cast is excellent and the choreography and songs are stirring. Melissa Gilbert who was Laura in the TV series is cast as Laura's mother, and Laura is played by the phenomenal Kara Lindsay.
