Violet The Musical

April 20, 21, & 22, 2023 - Rothschild Black Box Theater

Inspired by the short story “The Ugliest Pilgrim” by Doris Betts, “Violet” is a moving musical about titular character Violet (senior Madison Good) who is traveling across the Deep South in 1964 on a mission for healing. After being struck by an axe as a girl, Violet saves up enough money to travel with a TV evangelist (first-year Stewart Geisz) who promises to heal the scar on her face and make her beautiful. Although she doesn’t succeed in healing her scar, she meets a Black soldier named Flick (senior Lamar Morgan) who helps her reach beyond her physical imperfections and repair the prejudice she holds deep in her skin.
