⏳ Approx. 1 hour

🎟 One show only – Tickets $15 (online or at the door)

A unique, one-off theatrical experience—rehearsed readings from Spoon River Anthology interwoven with live music. Sweet melancholy, darkly funny, lighthearted yet mysterious, reflective yet raw.

Banned for years in Menard and Fulton counties, Spoon River Anthology was groundbreaking upon its release. Written by Edgar Lee Masters, this poetic masterpiece gives voice to those resting beneath the soil of Spoon River Cemetery—nostalgia mixed with unfiltered emotion, secrets laid bare, lives and longings revealed.

Praised by literary greats like Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, Spoon River Anthology remains as haunting and beautiful as ever. Now, brought to life at Dubbo’s Black Box Theatre.
