Butterflies are Free: By Leonard Gershe Directed by Billy Christopher Maupin April 9, 2010

April 9 - May 16

After its sold-out world premiere this fresh, sunny comedy by Leonard Gershe (Oscar nominee for his classic screenplay Funny Face) transferred to Broadway, won a Tony Award and ran for a crowd-pleasing three years. Loosely based on the life of blind attorney Harold Krents, and featuring original music by Stephen Schwartz (composer of Godspell and the current mega-hit Wicked), Butterflies are Free tells the story of Don Baker, an ambitious young man who, though sightless from birth, moves into an apartment in New York City, leaving his protective family in Scarsdale for the freedom and independence (and romance) he has always craved.
