Violet

Queensbury Theatre
12777 Queensbury Lane Houston

Inspired by the short story The Ugliest Pilgrim by Doris Betts, Violet's astounded critics and audiences alike in two separate decades. As a girl, Violet was struck by a wayward ax blade when her father was chopping wood, leaving her with a visible scar across her face. With enough money finally saved, she's traveling across the Deep South in 1964 towards a miracle - the healing touch of a TV evangelist who will make her beautiful. Although she may not succeed in having the scar on her face healed, Violet is able to repair those scars that are lying deeper than her skin. On the way, she meets a young, African-American soldier whose love for her reaches far past her physical "imperfections." Catch this Tony-nominated musical at Queensbury Theatre in Houston.
