Book & Lyrics by Brian Crawley

Based on The Ugliest Pilgrim by Doris Bettes
Directed by Joseph C. Walsh
Join us on the Greyhound bus as we take a theatrical journey from North Carolina to Oklahom in 1964. A musical that continues to astound critics and audiences alike, Producing Artistic Director, Joseph Walsh makes his Theo directorial debut with a production sure to leave your heart lifted and your toes tapping.
The namesake of the musical, Violet, has lived her whole life with a visible scar across her face following an accident as a child. Having saved enough money to travel for the healing touch of a TV evangelist she is certain will make her beautiful, we watch her pilgrimage bring her face-to-face with two soldiers and scars that run much deeper. Set to a musical landscape of show-stopping gospel anthems, country, blues, and honky-tonk rock music, the trio’s journey becomes a rollicking ride through love, growth, and self-discovery.
