Birchbark Books announces that Louise Erdrich’s novel The Master Butchers Singing Club will be staged at the Guthrie Theater this fall. From the bookstore’s blog:

“We are absolutely thrilled about the upcoming world premiere of The Master Butchers Singing Club at the Guthrie Theater in September!  Hear the comments of the Guthrie’s Artistic Director Joe Dowling.  Listen to Birchbark Books owner Louise Erdrich talk about the novel that inspired the play.  Catch some of director Francesca Zambello’s excitement about directing at the Guthrie.  And click on over to The Master Butchers Singing Club page on the Guthrie website for further information.”

We look forward to seeing–and hearing–this dramatic story brought to life. Congratulations, Louise!
