Bright Star is a bluegrass-infused musical by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. Inspired by a true love story, it is a touching tale of love, loss, and redemption in the American South, spanning the 1920s and 1940s. The story follows Alice Murphy, a literary editor, and Billy Cane, a young soldier returning from WWII, whose lives intertwine to unearth a hidden past involving Alice's lost baby, leading to surprising reunions and revelations about family and hope.
This show is brought to you in partnership with Pawsitive Pawformance Theatricals, a local non-profit performance group. Proceeds from this performance will benefit the Humane Society of the New River Valley.
