A journey of courage, faith, hope & love
Actors Theatre of Indiana (ATI) will soon open its next production – Violet – a moving musical featuring show-stopping anthems, ranging from American-roots to folk to gospel.

The show’s director, Richard J Roberts, sums up the musical: “Violet is the poignant and powerful story of a young woman who leaves her isolated North Carolina hometown for the first time in her life. On a Greyhound bus to Tulsa, where she plans to see a faith healer to erase her facial scar, Violet meets two young soldiers bound for Vietnam – one white, one Black – who change her view of herself, and the world. Bursting with music that soars from country to rhythm and blues to gospel, Violet will make you laugh, cry, and shout, with its journey of courage, faith, hope, and love.”
From Tony-winning composer Jeanine Tesori (Caroline, or Change; Thoroughly Modern Millie; Shrek) and book and lyrics by the acclaimed Brian Crawley (A Little Princess) this is a powerhouse piece of theatre.
