Lost in the Hills

A new musical by Paul Lewis

August 10 – 14, 2022

Lost in the Hills is a new musical freely adapted from Zane Grey’s 1919 novel The Desert of Wheat.

In early 20th-century Washington state, a young Spokane woman, traveling to the rolling wheat lands of the Palouse, is haunted by the inescapable feeling that she has been there once before. While seeking to decipher the reason for that, she loses her heart to a troubled young agrarian and his radical sister, and soon must decide whether to return to the well-planned life she has always known—or lose herself forever in the scenic yet unforgiving hills. A story of loss, love, and the gravitational pull of the past, set against the backdrop of the battle for justice in the fields.
