BRIGHT STAR
“If you knew my story, you’d have a good story to tell.”
Inspired by a true story and featuring a stunning bluegrass score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, the award-winning musical Bright Star tells a sweeping and unabashedly romantic tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South early last century. Beautiful melodies, exhilarating dance, and an astonishing story create a theatrical journey that holds you tightly in its grasp. Join us for a shining, uplifting, and genuine new musical about the stories we tell … and the ones we don’t.

We have designed our new space with a state-of-the-art ventilation system, so that you can breathe easy. We have a main ventilation system that is rated at 4 tons and have added an Energy Recovery Ventilator system, which is Energy Star rated and conditions 120 cubic feet of air per minute, expelling some of the air and intaking fresh air. Both air streams run through the HEPA filter system, which removes 99% of particles as small as 0.1 microns from the air it filters. We also installed a UV anti-bacteria/virus unit rated to match our space. The UV light can help eliminate many types of fungi, bacteria, mold, germs, viruses, and pathogens. Additionally, we have installed an ionization unit, making it easier for dust, dander, pollen, bacteria and viruses to be filtered out of the air.

Support MERELY PLAYERS
We humbly ask that you consider contributing to Merely Players, a 501(c) (3) organization.
As is true in theatres across the nation, ticket prices account for only about 50% of our production costs. The rest of our expenses must be met through private donations and grants.
Live theatre is a dynamic, expensive venture, and our costs keep rising. Donations are used to meet venue expenses, pay royalties, hire actors and other personnel, pay for technical elements such as scenery, costumes, and lighting, and to publicize our shows. The money we raise directly affects the quality of our productions.
Theatre adds vitality and variety to a community, and your tax-deductible donation helps to ensure that we can continue to thrive.
