Theme
Flowers sing, paintings come alive, and past and present intertwine as Georgia O'Keeffe wages a private battle between communal fulfillment and the solitary ecstasy of painting the unknown. Honoring O'Keeffe's adventurous spirit, this musical drama draws audiences into the emotional maelstrom of an artist's calling. Ultimately, it poses a universal question: What constitutes a life well-lived -- emotional fulfillment or worldly success?
