"On Shiloh Hill," is a musical resurrection of the American Civil War. "The time is now. The scene is a mythical American attic." In this attic place, using the actual music, memories and images of the past, our players, guided by the troubadour, will resurrect and them become the long departed spirits of those who endured the American Civil War. The players make their own music and set their own scenes by gathering props and costumes from chests and rafters. The proses have been taken directly from letters, memoirs, diaries, and other written collections. All the music, save the invocation, will be original to the period.
