"The World of Carl Sandburg" at the Plymouth Center for the Arts

Geronimo Sands brings one of his most famous characters to the Plymouth Center for the Arts tonight when he performs his one-man show The World of Carl Sandburg.

Sands is celebrating his 65th year in theater and his 50th at Priscilla Beach Theatre. He began performing at Chicago’s WFJL radio station when he was 5-years-old and quickly caught the acting bug.

Carl Sandburg was a poet and author from Illinois who won three Pulitzers for his books of poetry and a biography on Abraham Lincoln.

The World of Carl Sandburg, written by Norman Corwin, is a compilation of Sandburg’s best work and is one of Sands’ favorite shows to perform. He’s performed the show in theaters across the country over the last 20 years.

The show is a one-night-only event presented by Plymouth Community Theatre. Tickets at $15 and can be purchased at the door or in advance at Hollis Insurance Agency in the Pinehills and at the Plymouth Center for the Arts.
