About the Play

Newlyweds Amelia and Ethan are torn apart when he must leave to fight for the Union army. Ethan writes Amelia faithfully until one day his letters stop. Terrified, he has been killed or wounded; Amelia disguises herself as a union soldier and begins a desperate search across war-torn America. Amelia’s dangerous quest leads her through the battlefield of Gettysburg and culminates at the gates of the infamous Confederate prison camp: Andersonville.

AMELIA pays tribute to the courage of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.
