Theatreworks USA: Dessa Rose October 20, 2006

Another ambitious musical by the Tony Award winning team that created 'Once on This Island,' 'Ragtime' and 'A Man of No Importance,' 'Dessa Rose,' is a powerful musical based on the lives of two women that actually lived in the antebellum Deep South. Almost entirely sung through, 'Dessa Rose' is a truly powerful tale of courage, humanity, trust and friendship.
