See the heartfelt musical "Bright Star" at the Southwest Playhouse Fine Arts Center in Clinton. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and 1940s, the play tells a story of love, loss and redemption. Literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier who awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past—and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. Inspired by a true story and featuring a Tony-nominated bluegrass score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, "Bright Star" weaves a poignant journey filled with heartache and the promise of second chances.
