The Jewel of the Colorado

by Aidan Croft

In the late 60s, construction was completed on Glen Canyon Dam, creating one of the largest manmade lakes of the time, Lake Powell. The landscape of the American Southwest was forever changed. “The Jewel of the Colorado” explores the story of what was lost through actor, poet, and musician Katie Lee as well as many other voices of those affected.

The Jewel of the Colorado

    What a beautiful read! Could be staged as a solo work or with a small ensemble. Croft weaves folks songs deftly through the text to tell a true story from multiple viewpoints--a environmental/climate play that is not at all didactic. Highly recommend.
