Erica meets Vicky. Vicky marries Erica. Lives collide. Rewind. Pause. Fast forward.

Completing the creative team are Set Designer Rachel Hauck (This Wide Night), Costume Designer Emily Rebholz (If/Then), Lighting Designer Jen Schriever (The Other Josh Cohen) and Sound Designer Bart Fasbender (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson).

BRIGHT HALF LIFE marks the fifth collaboration between Barfield and Silverman, whose work on last season's Violet earned Tony Award nominations for Best Direction and Best Musical Revival. The duo recently partnered on the critically acclaimed plays The Call and Blue Doorthe latter earning Barfield a nomination for the 2007 Pulitzer Prize. BRIGHT HALF LIFE was developed during a residency at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Playwrights Conference in 2014 (Preston Whiteway - Executive Director; Wendy C. Goldberg - Artistic Director).
