SOUVENIR: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins 

This fictional “biography” of Florence Foster Jenkins is told from the perspective of her long-time accompanist, Cosme McMoon. At first skeptical, he revises his attitude towards her and the meaning of music, seeing the beauty in her passion. It is sure to be a lovely evening of theater about the beauty of art and music for the whole family.
