About “The Tender Land”
Originally conceived as an opera for television in the early 1950s, “The Tender Land” revolves around the Moss family, living in a rural Midwestern town, and the graduation of their oldest daughter, Laurie, who is unsure of her future in the world and what she will do after high school. At a party on the eve of graduation, Laurie falls in love with Martin, a migrant worker. They plan to elope, but then Martin abandons Laurie. In her despair, her family consoles her, but she realizes the time has come to leave and become her own person.
