'Almost Heaven: John Denver's America'

It’s an almost universal experience to shout-sing with strangers at a bar or wedding when "Take Me Home, Country Roads" hits the speakers, but that just scratches the surface of one man’s musical legacy. Weston Theater Company digs deeper with its production of Almost Heaven: John Denver’s America at Walker Farm. Sherry Stregack Lutken directs the tender, nostalgic drama following Denver’s life, work and cultural footprint, including masterful renditions of the melodies that continue to move us more than 25 years after his tragic death. From the Rocky Mountains to the Green Mountains, Denver’s timeless tunes live on in the American zeitgeist, like a silver thread woven through the tapestry of communal spirit.
