Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Director Dan Harvey has chosen a wonderful cast for Tryon Little Theater’s next musical, “Bright Star”, written by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell.

Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains just after WWII, the plot is loosely based on a true story. It offers a rollercoaster of emotions, some beautiful music and most importantly, a happy ending. 

“We have a delightfully talented cast,” says Harvey. “Audiences will love seeing some favorite faces, but will be thrilled by some new ones too.”

Rachael Harris plays Edna, Stephen Harris plays Stanford, and Ryan Holub is Jimmy. Susie Kocher is Mama Murphy, Hannah Lynch is the Well-Dressed Woman, Maddy Moreland is Florence and Crystal Pace plays Lucy.
