November 26, 2017 – January 13, 2018
Based on the short story “The Ugliest Pilgrim” by Doris Betts, this award-winning musical fuses a powerful rock, folk and gospel score. With a ticket, a suitcase and a heart full of expectation, Violet Karl, facially disfigured since childhood, boards a bus and travels across the deep south in 1964 to see if a faith healer can transform her life. Along the way, she forms unlikely friendships with her fellow passengers, who teach her about beauty, love and courage and that it’s the journeys you take in life that help you discover who you are. Winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical.

GHOSTS OF WAR – Chicago Premiere!
From the novel by Ryan Smithson

In the basement of a small evangelical church in southeastern Idaho, a group of young missionaries is preparing to go to the Middle East.
