The Story of Meet Your Mountain

It's the spring of 1846, and hundreds of people have made the choice to leave behind their homes, their friends, their lives… to cross an uncharted continent in search of new lives in the California territory. Inspired by actual history, Meet Your Mountain tells the story of sixteen of those people who traveled with the infamous Donner Party. 

Together, they ford flooded rivers, trudge across prairies, hack trails through overgrown canyons, struggle across barren deserts, and scramble up steep mountain peaks in their quest of a better life. Some die along the way, and those who make it to the end of the journey will face an unspeakable choice.  

In the actions of the Reeds and the Donners, we witness joy, optimism, faith, love, and triumph. Because this isn’t a story about how half of them died; it’s a story about how half them lived. From one of the most gruesome episodes of the westward movement, this is a musical filled with hope and inspiration, with songs which will make you smile, sing, laugh, cry, -- and rejoice.

We're not so different from them, really. We're all on a journey, and we all have the power to choose how we will respond to challenges. What will you do, when you Meet Your Mountain?
