| Description: Audition Dates: December 2, 2026 in Stage West Theater
The tragic and haunting story of the Donner Party is brought to life in this riveting courtroom drama! Based upon an actual 1847 trial involving several members of the ill-fated expedition, DEVOUR THE SNOW exposes all the grim horror and desperate hope of early California pioneers trapped in the Sierra Nevada in the dead of winter. While hunger and hypothermia quickly claim the weak, a hearty handful, driven by tenacity and primal instinct alone, survive to write a proper ending to one of the darkest chapters in the history of the American West. Harrowing, heartbreaking, and brutally honest in its depiction of both human frailty and an almost superhuman will to live, DEVOUR THE SNOW is gripping from gavel to gavel!
