Detours, New Directions: Students Imagine New Endings for BETSY!
Part of BETSY! The Appalachian--Puerto Rican Musical
BETSY! tells the story of a Bronx jazz singer forced to confront her twin Spanish Caribbean and Scotch-Irish roots. Her dilemma stirs up the ghosts of six generations of American women, and musical currents spanning four continents.
BETSY! premiered April 9-26 at the Pregones Theater/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater in Manhattan (304 W. 47th Street).
