Written In The Stars
Written In The Stars
When we look to the night sky, we see a landscape of stars that has existed unchanged for millennia. As times change and people come and go from our lives, the stars have always remained. Our show Written In The Stars explores this concept and tells the story of two people who have been bound together by the stars, even as the turbulence of everyday life causes their paths to diverge at times. Visual themes like star props, night sky backdrops, or even small blinking lights are among the ideas that could elevate this show into a production that captures the imagination of students and audiences alike.
