What would you say if you could talk to your younger self?

Join us in Brucemore’s formal garden for a two-day-only performance of a new original musical. In this story by local writer Jason Alberty, a long-married couple returns to a local garden where they shared some of the most important moments of their lives. While there, they run into two people who might actually be them thirty years before. Will they tell their younger selves about the trials of marriage and the pain of adulthood? Or will they leave the young couple to discover their future as it unfolds?

Take a journey through time in this musical experience written exclusively for performance in Brucemore’s Formal Garden. This celebration of local creativity is one that you won’t want to miss.
