The North Platte Canteen

By Johnny Rodgers and Sue Fabisch Errico

Step aboard the train to an unforgettable era of American spirit in an uplifting new musical! This glorious true story brings to life the extraordinary WW2-era North Platte Canteen in Nebraska, where ordinary townsfolk—led by one courageous young woman—allied to nourish millions of weary servicemen passing through on troop trains, offering homemade food, coffee, smiles, and unbreakable kindness during a time of global crisis.

With a stirring score that blends the irresistible swing of the 1940s with heartfelt, contemporary musical theater energy—(think recent hits like Come From Away)-the show bursts with toe-tapping rhythms, tender ballads, and joyous ensemble numbers that capture human connection.

A Two-Act musical full of love, perseverance, and even a popcorn ball.

SUE FABISCH (ERRICO) is the author (book, music, lyrics) of Motherhood the Musical, which has played across the US and around the world in Peru, Scotland, Toronto, New Zealand, Czech Republic, Argentina, Hungary, Australia, Brazil, and Portugal.
