Garner Theatre Productions (GTP) is pleased to present a workshop version of the Tony nominated bluegrass musical Bright Star written and composed by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. Join us August 25th and/or 26th for the first Toronto production of the Broadway musical, which will be staged as an Actor-Musician show, with all cast members on stage doubling as the band.

Bright Star is the story of successful literary editor, Alice Murphy, who confronts her past after meeting an ambitious young soldier just home from World War II. Together they discover a stunning secret with the power to transform their lives.

Winner of the 2018 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music, GTP’s interpretation of Bright Star will highlight this incredible music through Actor-Musicians who do it all - act the roles, sing the songs and play the instruments simultaneously.
