"Keeper of the Light" is a tribute to the men and women who
kept the lights burning in the sometimes treacherous waters
of Lake Superior. It is a story of fierce storms, shipwrecks,
and long haunted evenings for the families living out among
the Apostle Islands – all taken from the old journals of the
lighthouse keepers. This show was first produced at Big Top
Chautauqua in 1989 as a creation of the Nelson Ferris Concert
Company, and contains the classic songs "Keeper of the Light"
and "Shine."
