A Star Has Burnt My Eye

Charlotte Mundy October 12, 2016

Soon, soon, A Star Has Burnt My Eye will be performed as part of the BAM Next Wave Festival. It’s a play about why anyone should bother trying to be an artist; about loneliness, connection, exhaustion; Above all it’s a love letter to Connie Converse, a woman whose devastating songs only made their way to the public years after she had driven off in her volkswagen beetle and disappeared forever. We're already hard at work rehearsing and I can tell that this play is going to be magical.

We need a little help raising the final portion of the production budget. Donor perks include a private walking tour of Connie’s New York and a ticket to the already sold-out opening night. Please check out our indiegogo page and consider helping bring this play to life. 

A Star Has Burnt My Eye goes up at BAM Nov. 9-12, it’s nearly sold out but if you book now, hopefully you can still get your hands on a ticket!
