HELLO, STAR
From Peabody Opera Theater
February 12 – 15
A young girl named Celeste is captivated by a call from a bright dying star. With curiosity as her leader and her Mother as guide, she still questions her ability to meet the star before it fades away. Will she allow her self-doubts and expectations of what should happen get the best of her curiosity or will she achieve her goal and see possibilities beyond her wildest dreams?
Composer Carla Lucero
Step into 1950s Pittsburgh, where former Negro League baseball star Troy Maxson battles the weight of a dream deferred. Now working the city streets as a trash collector, he finds his simmering regrets threatening to fracture the family he loves. A poignant and powerful exploration of love, responsibility, and the invisible fences that confine us.
The production runs Friday, February 6 – Sunday, March 1, 2026.
