The Golden Seed

Event to feature dramatic performance, musical interludes

Aug 21, 2025 4:00 AM

This Liturgical Arts Festival program will be a dramatic performance with musical interludes. The theatrical component, from playwright and director James Compton Bockmier, features three figures from Springfield's history. An in-character "trialogue" will take place among Susan Lawrence Dana (played by Arlene Cooney), Frank Lloyd Wright (Patrick Foster) and Vachel Lindsay (Keegan Otwell). The trio will discuss the intersection of art and spirituality in their lives and work. The Springfield Choral Society will present musical selections throughout. This event is free and open to the public.
