Note: This performance is currently waitlist only.
A young woman embarks on a cross-country bus trip in search of a televangelist she believes can cure a scar on her face. Along the way, she meets two soldiers who are facing their own troubles with money and racism. The trio’s journey becomes a rollicking ride through love, resilience, and questions about what beauty really is in this tale full of country, gospel, blues, and honky-tonk rock music.
