Follow the story of two families of immigrants across history in Breeders Theater's new show, "West."

"West" is the sequel to "Prairie Heart," BT's production from January 2009.

"Prairie Heart" followed the story of Norwegian immigrant farmer Ole Olson and the woman he loves, Ingrid Thorgrimsdottir. At the end of that play, Ole and Ingrid finally get together.

Fast forward 25 years. Ole and Ingrid's youngest daughter, Glenda, is ready to make her own way. But times have changed in North Dakota. She could get married and start a farm of her own, but will history intervene?

"West" follows the fortunes of the Olson and Dokken families from World War I to the start of the Great Depression.

T.M. Sell wrote "West," based on the stories of his own ancestors, who also, over time, made their way west.
"It's loosely based on my ancestors, but this could be anybody's story, really," says Sell.

The runs March 11-26 at E.B. Foote Winery, 127B SW 153rd St in Burien. This will be the company's 20th production at the winery.

Alan Wilkie, who also directed Prairie Heart, directs the show. Music is by Nancy Warren, with choreographed by Teresa Widner, and costumes by Melissa Sell.

The cast features Adrienne Grieco, David Roby, Eric Hartley, Amber Rack Doug Knoop, Steve Scheide, and Erika Zabelle.
