about

Armourdale is a musical based on tales of events that occurred in the Armourdale district of Kansas City, Kansas, located on the Kansas River, also called the “Kaw.” These events take place from 1936 through 1951, when the worst flood in the city’s history devastated the area. The story centers around two families living across the street from each other. Luigi and Assunta Tortorilla, Italian immigrants, their daughter Norma, and seven other children. Bill and Mary (O’Donnell) Sanders, their son, “OD”, and their grandson Tommy.
