WHAT: Theater Performance: THE CONNIE CONVERSE UNIVERSE
Exploring the true story of the first female folksinger/songwriter starring Hope Levy.
DESCRIPTION: Before the likes of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez made waves in the folk scene of the 1960s, Connie Converse quietly shared her self-penned songs amongst friends during the early 1950s. However, her mysterious disappearance in August of 1974 left her music veiled in obscurity. It wasn’t until decades later, in 2009, that the world rediscovered her haunting melodies through a viral release of her original 1954 demo recordings on Spotify. Now, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Hope Levy steps into the spotlight to breathe new life into Converse’s evocative compositions, offering a captivating glimpse into her enigmatic world.
