Audubon's Story in Song | Musical Theater Creator Lorrie Pande

Lorrie Pande has spent her career in the scenes and behind the scenes of the performing arts, mostly in the theater. And for reasons that, even now, aren’t entirely clear, Pande felt compelled to create a theatrical musical about the life of artist and naturalist John Jay Audubon. “The American Woodsman” premieres June 23 at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts. Pande talks about her path from Chicago to South Florida to Asheville, what led her to Audubon’s work and story and marshaling her financial and professional resources to bring her vision to life.
