The Connie Converse Universe
The 2024 “Outstanding Musical” winner at the San Diego International Fringe Festival comes to the Hollywood Independent Theater Festival
Connie Converse, an American singer-songwriter active in the 1950s, was a pioneering figure in the folk music genre before Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. Known for her haunting melodies and introspective lyrics, her work laid the groundwork for future singer-songwriters of the 1960s. But Connie’s life took a mysterious turn in August 1974, when she packed up her belongings in her VW Bug and disappeared, never to be seen again. Her music, however, found new life 35 years later when her 1954 demo recordings were rediscovered and went viral on Spotify.
