Synopsis

Turner Buckminster III can’t win: he’s the new kid in town, he plays baseball differently, and his only friend is Lizzie Bright Griffin from Malaga Island, an impoverished community founded by former slaves. When powerful forces threaten Lizzie Bright and her kin, Turner faces the ultimate test of his character—and learns a hard-earned lesson about courage and loss. Powerful, soul-searching and beautiful.

“[Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy] is a production that may stand in memory like a lighthouse on a stark cliff, flashing brilliance through a dark night.” -Pioneer Press
