'Mountain Days-The John Muir Musical'
2001 Production

For 2001, Mountain Days-The John Muir Musical moved to a site at the Martinez Waterfront, not far from the home where John Muir lived.  Some minor changes were made to the book and musical numbers.  Once again, Lee Strawn portrayed John Muir, Marsha Mercant was Louie Strentzel Muir, and Jon Marshall was Young John Muir. 

A concrete stage was poured at the site, a tiered seating area was built, and patrons enjoyed the production from folding chairs.  A temporary structure provided areas for lighting instruments, and a "roof" over the central part of the stage.  The original one-piece rotating set was moved to the new venue.
