The Pacific Conservatory Theatre (PCPA) presents its current production of Bright Star at the Solvang Festival Theater through Sunday, July 23. The ensemble cast of this bluegrass musical—with music and lyrics by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell—includes Lesley McKinnell, Don Stewart, Kitty Balay, Cat Evans, Antwon Mason, and others.
The show’s director and choreographer, Keenon Hooks, described Bright Star as a musical journey that explores “what home means to us in different ways,” in press materials.
“We all have a story to tell, and the stories of our beloved characters in Bright Star remind us of the steadfast strength to be found within ourselves, in the people that surround us, and in our roots,” said Hooks, who hopes audience members will allow themselves to “get lost in these stories” during the production.
