Bright Star

The St. Francis High School Theatre has your weekend plans set. 

Come watch these thespians perform Bright Star, a sweeping tale of love and redemption. Showtimes are at 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday at the SFHS Performing Arts Center.

Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony®-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, BRIGHT STAR tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ’40s. 

When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past—and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tightly in its grasp, BRIGHT STAR is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.

*Bright Star contains some mature themes that may be more appropriate and relevant to pre-teens and older
