Spring musical, ‘Bright Star,’ opens next week in Wood-Mar Auditorium

February 28th, 2024

The university’s performing arts department will present our spring musical, Bright Star, in Wood-Mar Auditorium beginning next week. Here are our showtimes:

  • Thursday-Saturday, March 7-9 & March 14-16, at 7:30 p.m.
  • Sunday, March 10 and March 17, at 2 p.m.

Synopsis: Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s 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.

Students and staff can claim their free ticket by visiting our website at georgefox.edu/box-office. Student tickets are free for Thursday nights; staff tickets are free for any night. When selecting your complimentary tickets, please do so using your own George Fox email address. Open captioning will be offered on the first Sunday and second Thursday performances.
