Apr. 10—ROCHESTER — Absolute Theater is putting on another performance at the historic Chateau Theater, which continues its transformation into a bonafide theater and music venue.
This production, "Bright Star," is the first performance of a unique show written by actor, comedian, director and musician Steve Martin and Grammy-winning musician Edie Brickell. Martin, himself a Grammy, Emmy, and Academy Award winner, co-wrote the show about family, love, and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and 40s. As expected, the show leans heavily on Americana and Bluegrass music.
