(A Theatrical Rights Worldwide Production)

Music, Book, and Story by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell

Bright Star is a heartwarming, toe-tapping musical that takes you on an unforgettable journey of love, resilience, and redemption. Set against the stunning backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and 1940s, this Tony-nominated show weaves together two timelines to tell a deeply moving story inspired by a true event. Featuring a soulful, bluegrass-inspired score, Bright Star celebrates the power of hope, the bonds of family, and the discovery of a long-buried secret that has the power to transform lives. Overflowing with charm, humor, and unforgettable melodies, Bright Star is a dazzling celebration of the human spirit that will leave audiences humming long after the final curtain falls.

Directed by Jacksonville native Juliet Fixel (NYC Choreographer, Director, and Owner/Artistic Director of JFix Productions and Choreography) and Ava Fixel (Artistic Director of Act ii Players), this production will bring together singers, dancers, musicians and artists of all kinds.
