THE FIREHOUSE THEATRE
Inspired by a real event and featuring the Grammy-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. Propelled by an ensemble of onstage musicians and dancers, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion, beautiful melodies and powerfully moving performances. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tight in its grasp, Bright Star is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
The preview night is Thursday, May 23 at 7:30 p.m. and performances are scheduled for Friday, May 24 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 25 at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, May 26 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets range from $14-28 and The Firehouse Theatre is located at 2535 Valley View Lane in Farmers Branch.
