COMEDY. FUN. CAN-CAN.

POWERFUL. FAMILY. SECRETS.
This backstage drama of a Broadway diva and her children reveals the dangers of keeping family secrets.  Based on a sketch by Tony-Award winning playwright Terrence McNally (Kiss of the Spiderwoman), the new American opera is set to music by Jake Heggie (Dead Man Walking) with a riveting libretto by Gene Scheer.
