Six childhood friends and their shifting relationships come vibrantly to life in this captivating chamber musical inspired by Virginia Woolf's celebrated novel.

Writer and director Lisa Peterson (An Iliad) and composer Adam Gwon (Ordinary Days) revisit and reimagine Bucknam and Peterson's lush and layered musical, which premiered Off-Broadway over thirty years ago.
