[poster for Bright Star] Steven Martin & Edie Brickell’s Bright Star
A musical that begins in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and tells the story of two parallel love stories, one in the 1920s and one in the 1940s. The musical follows the journey of Billy Cane, a young soldier returning from World War II, as he discovers a connection to a talented young writer, Alice Murphy. As their stories unfold, the audience is taken on a journey through love, loss, and the power of the human spirit. With a mix of bluegrass, folk, and traditional show tunes, Bright Star music brings the story to life with a unique and unforgettable sound.
[poster for The Revolutionists] Lauren Gunderson’s The Revolutionists
Our final production takes place in Paris during the French Revolution and follows the lives of four women who are trying to navigate the chaos and upheaval of the time. The play focuses on Olympe de Gouges, a playwright and feminist; Marianne Angelle, a Caribbean spy; Charlotte Corday, a radical Girondin; and Gabrielle de Polastron, a wealthy socialite. The four women come together to discuss and debate their place in the revolution as they struggle with personal ideals, desires, and fears. Through their interactions, the play explores themes of feminism, activism, and the cost of revolution. With humor, wit, and a touch of absurdity, The Revolutionist brings the French Revolution to life in a fresh and dynamic way. The play is a powerful exploration of the intersection of politics, art, humanity, and social justice.
