The Outcasts of Poker Flat
Composer:William MacSems
Librettist:William MacSems
Synopsis
Four disreputable characters have been banished from the suddenly virtuous community of Poker Flat, located in the Sierra Mountains of California of the 1850’s. In their trek over the mountain to Sandy Bar, they are met by innocence (in the form of Tom Simpson and his teenage bride to be Piney Woods. This is an episode that reveals the transformation of character of the exiles due to the influence of the young couple who in their innocence represent hope and faith. There are a few surprises and a “true to Opera” ending.
