The Adventures of Lewis and Clark...

Youth Conservatory
Past Production - February 2006
by Roger Emerson and John Jacobson
Orchestrated by Alan Billingsley

Directed by Sarah Butts

In 1804, the United States, under the leadership of President Thomas Jefferson, commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to travel, explore and chart the new territories of the Louisiana Purchase. These brave men, and their companions, York, Charbonneau, Sacagawea, along with their trusty dog, Scannon, traveled up the Missouri River, over the Rocky Mountains, and down the Columbia River, all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Their remarkable story comes to life in this clever musical adaptation by Roger Emerson and John Jacobson, with 8 original songs and a delightfully-entertaining script.
