Saturday's Warrior is a musical fantasy that originated on the stage in 1974 with music by Lex de Azevedo and book and lyrics by Doug Stewart. It is based on the idea that we existed before we were born into this life, in a realm where we not only had relationships with others with whom we would share our earthly journey, but that we might even have made promises to them. Saturday's Warrior is the age-old story of a prodigal son struggling to find himself as he faces temptation, family expectations, and the changing values of the time.
