The Light in the Piazza is a musical that features Clara Johnson, a twenty-something American on tour of Italy in the summer of 1953 with her mother Margaret. She falls for the young Italian Fabrizio Naccarelli after he retrieves her hat that had blown away. As their romance ignites, Margaret hopes to extinguish it...for reasons unknown to Clara that may later prove to be dangerous.
The Light to the Piazza based on Elizabeth Spencer's book, features Adam Guettel's music and lyrics and Craig Lucas's book. For As Yet Unnamed Theatre Company, Sandy Richens Cohrs directed the production.
