Lavender Rose
Book and lyrics by Fran Zell
Music by Katherine Younger
Director: Nancy Alexander Phipps
Music director: Sarah NewportA joyous, brand new, all womyn coming out musical.
Lavender Rose is the mid-life coming out story of Alyx and Emily and their journey towards the deepest kind of love and self realization. Along the way, Alyx and Emily encounter an assortment of colorful gay and straight characters, and with everyone else, acquire a new respect for the importance of community as a means of overcoming divisiveness and hate. This is a fun, funny show-- hopeful one moment, poignant the next. There are 14 original songs. You will literally be singing on the way out of theater.
