With a book and lyrics by Elizabeth Hansen and music and lyrics by C. Michael Perry, An Enchanted April begins in London during a dreary February in 1922. Four world-weary women, desperate to escape their memories of WWI and the repression of London, rent a villa in Italy for a month.
The team also includes executive producer Andrew Joy, music director Richard Danley, assistant music director Ronnie Bishop, costume designer Matthew Solomon, scenic and lighting designer William Armstrong, projections designer Erin Dinnell Bjorn, and prop mistress Liz Burdick. Cheyney Coles is the stage manager.
