Through the magic of live theatre, the musical follows the Ingalls family's journey westward and settlement in De Smet, South Dakota where Ma and Pa Ingalls hoped to make a better life for their children. In story, song, and dance, the audience will see the Ingalls suffering the hardships of winter blizzards and prairie fires as well as rejoicing in the settlement of land. Most of all, the story follows Laura as she grows from a child who loved to run free into a woman who embraces the responsibilities of her own future while remaining true to herself.
