TheatreWorks Silicon Valley will close its 52nd season with the World Premiere musical Alice Bliss. This vibrant new work is an intimate and stunning tale of losing everything and living anyway; of a girl who hits rock bottom, finds her mom there, and begins to grow up. Full of humor, hope, grief, and sheer teenage joy, this brilliant new musical is based on Laura Harrington's acclaimed novel in which young Alice and her family navigate life after her father is deployed to Iraq and reported missing in action.
Alice Bliss was commissioned by Playwrights Horizons and received developmental readings in 2021 at TheatreWorks' Writers Retreat. This production will be helmed by powerhouse director Mark Brokaw (Broadway's How I Learned to Drive, Heisenberg, and Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella).
