Event Description: DISCOVERING WHO YOU ARE IS THE GREATEST JOURNEY OF ALL. A girl with a disfiguring scar sets out from her home in Spruce Pine, NC to seek healing and finds her true beauty along the way. Set in 1964, this stunning show won both the Drama Critics’ Circle Award and Lucille Lortel Award as Best Musical for its touching script and show-stopping anthems ranging from American-roots to folk to gospel. Violet is the moving story of a courageous heroine you’ll never forget. AGE RECOMMENDATION This inspiring contemporary musical is touching, funny and sometimes frank with moments including adult language and subject matter that might be inappropriate for younger audience members. We recommend Violet for patrons ages 14 and older. Performances are February 9-25, 2018 | Fridays/Saturdays at 8 pm & Sundays at 2 pm *Feb 9: Opening night ticket holders will be treated to a post-show party with the cast and crew as well as the board of OCTA to celebrate both the production and the recent updates to the interior of the theatre.
