Rick Lewis, Artistic Director of Bridgetown Conservatory said: "We are very excited to present Joey Contreras' new musical, In Pieces. It is vital to Bridgetown to present theatre that is relevant to our young performers and the issues with which they are dealing. We have assembled an amazing group of young Portland performers for our production." In Pieces focuses on eight young people as they each face a turning point in their lives. Before they can move on, they must retrace their journeys, the stories and relationships that got them there.
