BRIGHT STAR

music, book & story by STEVE MARTIN

music, lyrics & story by EDIE BRICKELL

Farmers Alley Theatre is proud to bring back to our schedule the sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ‘40s, BRIGHT STAR – running June 23rd thru July 10th. When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost.

Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past—and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With lively bluegrass and folk score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, and to be directed by Kathy Mulay, this uplifting theatrical journey holds you tightly in its grasp and is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
