The Light in the Piazza at Arena Stage March 5, 2010

One windy day in the Tuscan countryside, Clara loses her hat in a sudden gust, and as if guided by fate, it lands at the feet of the handsome Fabrizio. As their whirlwind courtship unfolds, Clara's mother, Margaret, is unable to conceal the family
secret and must reconsider not only her daughter's future but her own as well. Arena’s Artistic Director, Molly Smith directs an intimate, chamber version of this musical that won six Tony Awards (including Best Score) and hearts across the country, being hailed “a magnificent theatrical achievement” (Chicago Tribune) and “absolutely transfixing” (San Francisco Chronicle). Craig Lucas (Prelude to a Kiss) has distilled Elizabeth Spencer's novella to a poignant tale about the essence of love, aided by the lush music of Adam Guettel (Floyd Collins).
