Bright Star presented by Reston Community Players at CenterStage Theater

Bright Star, set against the backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and '40s, weaves together two chapters in the life of literary editor Alice Murphy; the first, as a young backwoods girl in love with the son of a prominent family; and the second, as a mentor to a young soldier just back from the war. Propelled by a rousing country and bluegrass score and brimming with charm, Bright Star is a refreshingly original and daringly hopeful theatrical journey that will hold audiences tightly in its grasp.
