Bright Star at Midlakes High School Auditorium

Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony Award 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 many lives. With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, “Bright Star” is an uplifting theatrical journey that holds the audience tightly in its grasp and is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
