Princeton Arts Fellow Kamara Thomas presents the first developmental production of her new musical theater work Xulgaria, featuring students from her spring course, the Princeton Playhouse Orchestra and Choir and guest artists from across the country. In this dark but hopeful fairy tale, two friends find themselves in an underworld of eternal winter—Xulgaria. On their journey they must face the great Bird-women who are the land’s rulers as they search for Spring and retrieve the parts of themselves thought lost. A talkback will follow the performance.

Content advisory: This production contains content about suicide. If you or someone you know may have suicidal thoughts, please call the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat online at 988lifeline.org.
