West Chester University’s Department of Theatre & Dance presents Bright Star, a musical by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, from October 15 through October 18 at the Madeleine Wing Adler Theatre.

Set in the American South during the 1920s and 1940s, the story follows literary editor Alice Murphy as an encounter with a young soldier returning from World War II leads her back into her own past. Performances are scheduled for Thursday through Saturday evenings, with a Sunday matinee.
