Dandelion, An Original Musical at Trustus Theatre

Dandelion, An Original Musical follows the story of Jane, a high school senior, and her family as they are forced to confront profound questions of guilt, responsibility, and sacrifice when Jane must decide between attending college in pursuit of her lifelong dreams, or staying home to care for her mother, Lilah — who is locked in a desperate battle with severe mental illness and opioid addiction. A deep exploration of the world of caretaking, trauma, healing, and responsibility from the eyes of a conflicted daughter navigating a broken healthcare system, Dandelion is a contemporary, singer-songwriter style musical that captures the emotional ups and downs of familial love, loss, and change. Female-driven and fearless in its approach to storytelling, Dandelion is a universal story that will touch the lives of audience members across generations.
