Synopsis From the press
release for the current production:
"From the heart of Brooklyn
comes a band of soulful street-corner singers and storytellers. With
a mix of pop and soul, they set their stage and tell a wondrous
sidewalk fairy tale about a young girl searching for fame and the
father she never knew. With just one clue to lead her, she lands in
the city that bears her name…BROOKLYN"
Director Jeff Calhoun's words from
the press packet for the Denver
Civic Theatre premiere:
"A street corner in Brooklyn
provides the background for a troop of homeless street performers as
modern day apostles. For some spare change and a few moments of your
time, they will shed their homeless skin and before your very eyes
become the bigger than life characters in a story. They will
transport you from Brooklyn to Paris and back. Theirs is a sweeping
morality tale of a beautiful young Parisian songstress, whose fame
and fortune could not fill the emptiness in her soul…the emptiness
only orphans would know. Believing in her heart that the father she
never knew might somehow, somewhere still be alive…her search
leads her across an ocean…to America, to the city that bares her
name…Brooklyn. It is there, in that city, that she is confronted
with greed, envy, loss and the American Way…and it is there, in
that city, that she and we discover our real identities and the true
meaning of family, fame, fate, and faith"
