Matchstick Girl

Directed by Andrew Barratt Lewis
Music Directed by Kenneth Plain

World Premiere New Musical! It is New Year’s Eve in Victorian Denmark. As the people bustle about the town, carrying treats like cakes of marzipan rings to share with friends, Sofia stands alone, shoeless in the bitter cold with a handful of matches for sale. A chance encounter with an old friend, Johan, on his way to his family’s ball, gives her a glimpse of a world of warmth, love, and safety that she is denied and leaves Johan troubled and conflicted about what he should or could do for her. Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved story is brought to life in a sweeping musical about what we owe to each other in a community.
