A WORLD PREMIERE FOLK-INFUSED MUSICAL In this world premiere folk-infused mystery-box musical, best friends Gracie and Nora leave Los Angeles for a secluded wellness retreat in the California wilderness—where seductive self-help rituals test the limits of their courage, their friendship, and how far we are willing to go to heal. The Turning World Premiere Original Musical Book, Music and Lyrics by Zack Zadek Music Supervised by Geoffrey Ko Choreographed by Chanel DaSilva Directed by and Developed with Sammi Cannold In Association with Benton Whitley and Mark Lunsford Center Theatre Group’s Brindell & Milton Gottlieb Artistic Director Snehal Desai says, “We are excited to partner with Zack, Sammi, and the entire team on The Turning, which has everything I love about musicals—a wild, adventurous ride of a story, an incredible score, and a great book, all set in beautiful Southern California.”
