Brigadoon

by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe

Oct. 28-30, 1982

Directed by B. Michael Quale

Brigadoon is a musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. It tells the story of two yound New Yorkers, Tommy and Jeff, in the Scottish Highlands on a hunting trip. They lose their way and night falls. Morning reveals a mysterious Scottish village, not on the map, that appears for only one day every hundred years.

To the villagers, the passing of each century seems no longer than one night. The enchantment is viewed by them as a blessing rather than a curse, for it saved the village from destruction. According to their covenant with God, no one from Brigadoon may ever leave, or the enchantment will be broken and the site and all its inhabitants will disappear into the mist forever.

Fiona's younger sister is being wed at dusk, but a rejected suitor threatens the happy occasion by telling the townspeople he is leaving Brigadoon. Tommy finds himself unable to explain his feelings for Fiona, and is faced with the decision of leaving her and Brigadoon at the end of the day.
