Anastasia
Synopsis:
Anastasia is a musical adventure that follows a young Anya searching for her place in the world. Living in post-revolutionary Russia, during the 1920s, she has little memory of her past and dreams of a better future.

What begins as a calculated scheme evolves into a life-changing quest as secrets surface, loyalties are tested, and love emerges in unexpected ways.
Along the way, she encounters a colorful array of characters who challenge her, support her, and help her discover who she truly is. Blending romance, humor, and heartfelt storytelling, Anastasia explores themes of identity, resilience, and the idea that family can be found as well as remembered.
Content Note:
Anastasia contains themes/elements of violence and war, references to Communism, references to alcohol, romantic relationships depicted on stage (including kissing), and potential onstage use of prop guns / theatrical gunshots.

Bright Star
Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony®-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s BRIGHT STAR tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ’40s. 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 beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tightly in its grasp, BRIGHT STAR is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
Once on this Island
Ti Moune, a peasant girl, rescues a wealthy boy from the other side of the island, Daniel, with whom she falls in love. Unbeknownst to Ti Moune, the pompous gods who preside over the island make a bet with one another over which is stronger, love or death, the stakes being Ti Moune's life. When she pursues Daniel, who has returned to his people, Ti Moune is shunned because of her lowly status. Her determination and capacity to love, though, is not enough to win Daniel's heart, and Ti Moune pays the ultimate price; but the gods turn Ti Moune into a tree that grows so strong and so tall, it breaks the wall that separates the societies and ultimately unites them.
