Preview of Bright Star

In this preview, Jacque will introduce us to Bright Star, the musical written and composed by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina in the 1940’s, the Tony-nominated Bright Star tells a story of family secrets, love and redemption through a bluegrass and country music score. At the preview, we will meet stage director Mark Sutch and conductor Tara Keith, and we will hear performances by cast members from the show.
