Violet
music by Jeanine Tesori
book & lyrics by Brian Crawley
June 6-22, 2025
A journey towards a miracle.
In the small town of Spruce Pine, North Carolina, a woman named Violet is fed up with her facial disfigurement. She hops on a Greyhound bus, navigating new relationships and experiences on her way to be healed by a televangelist in Tulsa, Oklahoma. See how she gets to where she was going all along in a whirlwind of gospel, bluegrass, and blues.

Violet contains mature themes and situations including lust, bigotry, prejudice, racial slurs, racism, body image, ableism, confronting past traumas, and the impact of faith and religion on American culture.
