“Tesori’s beautiful music is given first-rate direction by Robyn Manion who, with three on-stage musicians, expertly perform a wonderfully deep-fried score mixing country, gospel, blues and early rock.'”
“Hayter’s compelling direction draws us in, with a clever conceit of evoking the bus: She effectively has the characters flip their suitcases on end, using them as seats.”
“‘Violet’ is tough, unforgiving and bittersweet. With a sad story that ironically brims with life and hope, it’s unlikely you’ll soon forget this potent piece of musical theater – or Chance’s masterful production of it.”
