    *Talkback after the show

    A tale of the power of self-acceptance and compassion, Violet takes audiences on a journey through the South during the Civil Rights era. As Violet journeys to receive what she hopes will be a miracle cure from a faith healer, she finds joy, heartache, and self-knowledge. Gospel, blues, and folk-inspired songs carry her through her tribulations towards a transformative embrace of her own flaws and scars.

    Violet is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
