The Cedar Chest Letters (performed in Oshkosh, Wisconsin)
Radio / Historical Drama
About the Play
The Winnebago County Historical and Archaeological Society presented “Live at the Time” - a fun filled theater night out on Friday, October 21, 2016 at the Time Community Theater in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The evening featured "The Cedar Chest Letters", a true story about a northern Wisconsin family during the Depression. The Brown-Ullstrup Performing Arts Foundation from Salem, Wisconsin managed the production.
About the story: one day, Racine, Wisconsin resident Barbara Tylla was looking through her mother’s old cedar chest and happened upon a packet of old letters. In these letters, Barb found her family’s story of strong women, loving men, and life in the 1930s and early 1940s. She took the letters and wrote a play where despite the challenges of the Great Depression and the early days of World War II, love conquers all. But Barb also goes beyond just telling a story of her family and tells us how this is a story of all of our families in this charming play originally brought to the airwaves in 2013.
