VIOLET the musical is set in the Deep South during the Civil Rights  
Movement with book & lyrics by Brian Crawley and music by Jeanine  
Tesori. This production is directed by Edward Kuntzman.

VIOLET tells the story of a young woman’s quest for beauty amidst the  
image-obsessed landscape of the 1960s. Facially disfigured in a  
childhood accident, Violet dreams of a miraculous transformation  
through the power of faith. Convinced that a televangelist in Oklahoma  
can heal her, she hops a Greyhound bus and starts the journey of a  
lifetime. Along the way, Violet forms unlikely friendships with her  
fellow riders, who teach her about beauty, love, courage, and what it  
means to be an outsider.
