With a cast of students from several Oahu schools, director Jenn Thomas guides the story of a disfigured young woman and her journey by bus across the Deep South to see a TV faith healer, whom she\u2019s convinced will restore her beauty. Along the way, she meets a young black soldier who teaches her about beauty, love, courage and what it means to be an outsider.<\/p>\n

In the 1990s, Violet was honored for its vibrant, toe-tapping Gospel music and blues by Jeanine Tesori, which is directed here by Nanilisa Pascua, with choreography by Deanna Luster and set design by M.J. Matsushita. It won the 1997 New York drama critics Circle Award for Best Musical, the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical and the Obie Award\/Special Citation for Tesori\u2019s score. It\u2019s based on the Doris Betts book, The Ugliest Pilgrim.<\/p>\n

The curtain goes up at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22, 23, March 1, 2, 8 and 9, and at 3 p.m. Feb. 24 and March 3 and 10. Tickets are available at the door, at Harry\u2019s Music Store and online at honouluboxoffice.com<\/a>. Tickets cost $12 and $6.<\/p>\n
