SUMMARY:Violet\, the musical
DESCRIPTION:THE JUSTICE THEATER PROJECT CLOSES THE ‘24-’25 SEASON  WITH THE ACCLAIMED MUSICAL “VIOLET\,” music by Jeanine Tesori and book and lyrics by Brian Crawley\, from June 6-22\, 2025—a journey towards a miracle.\nThe musical Violet explores themes of beauty\, self-acceptance\, and the impact of physical disfigurement on one’s sense of self. It also delves into themes of faith\, healing\, and the struggles of navigating a changing society during the Civil Rights Era. Ultimately\, Violet examines\, while learning to find strength and resilience in the face of adversity and learn to embrace their true selves\, despite external pressures and societal expectations. Violet centers around a young woman embarking on a long journey full of hope and dreams of a new beginning. Violet has a large scar on her face due to a childhood accident and it has\,  literally\, scarred her life. Having run out of all medical options\, she now pins all her hopes on a miracle cure from a famous TV preacher in Tulsa\, Oklahoma. On her journey of self-discovery\, she meets two soldiers\, Flick and Monty. As they travel on together\, Violet learns the true meaning of beauty\, love\, and what it means to be an outsider. Her miracle cure does not come through\, but Violet experiences a form of healing that is infinitely more valuable.

SUMMARY:FAIRVIEW
DESCRIPTION:Nothing is what it seems in this comic\, challenging\, and searing 2019 Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama. The committee called the play “a hard-hitting drama that examines race in a highly conceptual\, layered structure\, ultimately bringing audiences into the actors’ community to face deep-seated prejudices.” In Fairview\, the Frasier family prepares for Grandma’s birthday\, but not everything goes according to plan\, and things quickly go in unexpected directions for both the characters and the audience. What begins as a seemingly pleasant\, playful examination of a blatantly stereotyped African-American family morphs into a scalpel-sharp commentary on racism\, prejudice\, and white privilege. The play’s eventual destruction of the fourth wall delivers themes brazenly to its audience in an unforgettable theatre event. The show’s concept came from conversations with director Sarah Benson\, Sibblies Drury says. “We were both interested in thinking about surveillance and why it affects people of color in a deeper way\,” she says. “And this idea of being watched by someone as a person of color — there is automatically some sort of sense of suspicion\, especially if the watcher is a white person. And so we started from a place of trying to create what in the theater felt like a normal black family\, and then introducing the idea of someone watching that family — and that watching [changes] their behavior and the course of their lives.” \nSunday\, February 16th\, after the show: “Talkback with the Cast and Crew\,” – stay for insights from our cast about their characters\, what it is like to play these roles\, and how they adapt to the character. \nSaturday\, February 22nd\, 6:15 pm: “Who Do You Think You Are?: Racial Identities and Doing the Work to Understand Your Own Starting Point” presented by  Clinical Psychologist Dr. Effua Sosoo is a licensed therapist who specializes in race-related stress and how it impacts the bodies and mood responses of Black individuals. In this pre-show discussion\, she will provide context for some of the issues and topics that the audience will encounter in the play\, inviting attendees to think about black and white racial identities\, white liberalism\, and ways that our own perceptions and experiences of the world shape our interactions with both our own and other cultures.

SUMMARY:FAIRVIEW
DESCRIPTION:Nothing is what it seems in this comic\, challenging\, and searing 2019 Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama. The committee called the play “a hard-hitting drama that examines race in a highly conceptual\, layered structure\, ultimately bringing audiences into the actors’ community to face deep-seated prejudices.” In Fairview\, the Frasier family prepares for Grandma’s birthday\, but not everything goes according to plan\, and things quickly go in unexpected directions for both the characters and the audience. What begins as a seemingly pleasant\, playful examination of a blatantly stereotyped African-American family morphs into a scalpel-sharp commentary on racism\, prejudice\, and white privilege. The play’s eventual destruction of the fourth wall delivers themes brazenly to its audience in an unforgettable theatre event. The show’s concept came from conversations with director Sarah Benson\, Sibblies Drury says. “We were both interested in thinking about surveillance and why it affects people of color in a deeper way\,” she says. “And this idea of being watched by someone as a person of color — there is automatically some sort of sense of suspicion\, especially if the watcher is a white person. And so we started from a place of trying to create what in the theater felt like a normal black family\, and then introducing the idea of someone watching that family — and that watching [changes] their behavior and the course of their lives.” \nSunday\, February 16th\, after the show: “Talkback with the Cast and Crew\,” – stay for insights from our cast about their characters\, what it is like to play these roles\, and how they adapt to the character. \nSaturday\, February 22nd\, 6:15 pm: “Who Do You Think You Are?: Racial Identities and Doing the Work to Understand Your Own Starting Point” presented by  Clinical Psychologist Dr. Effua Sosoo is a licensed therapist who specializes in race-related stress and how it impacts the bodies and mood responses of Black individuals.
