When Will is faced with the impending death of his younger sister, Shay, he realizes he must do something to stop it. With a little help from a statue of St. Francis (and possibly the edibles he ingests), he connects with a miraculous power inside him that can heal his sister, but may cost him his own life. If he can only get past his mother, who both believes and doubts it all...

WillJee is intended for mature audiences.

Written by M Mary Sullivan and directed by Kerrigan Sullivan, WillJee is the third production in The Lynn Theatre Studio Series. WillJee was developed in the Pipeline New Works Fellowship Program by Cadence Theatre Company. The playwriting cohort is led by David Lindsay-Abaire, a Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, screenwriter, lyricist, and librettist. 

WillJee will be open admission for all Brightpoint students and the community, but donations are welcome. Gifts may be made to the Arts at Brightpoint at https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/brightpointdonatenow.

In the rubble of the London Blitz of World War II, Alice Spencer’s budding teen life is turned upside down, and she and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. When the ailing Alfred is quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book and journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.

Directed by Foster Solomon, Alice by Heart is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
