Way Off Broadway (WOB), Iowa’s only professional musical theatre and Resident Company at the Stephen Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts In Fairfield, Iowa now presents Eva Turner; Legacy, a combined workshop musical co-produced by WOB and Bair Opera Company from Los Angeles.

More than simply an evening about a singer and her music, this interesting two person play revolves around  the May/ December relationship of Eva Turner and her vocal coach Albert Richard Broad or “Plum” as he was known by his friends.

A "Dramatic Soprano" just like her character, L.A.  based opera singer Kimber-ly Harris plays the title role of Eva, singing choice selections from The Diva's own repertory. "Plum" is played by Steve White, founder of Fairfield’s Shakes-peare Ensemble and a graduate of the Trinity Repertory Theatre Conservatory in Providence, and the British- American Acting Academy in London.

Randal K West, Artistic Director of WOB and the Director of this workshop states that” WOB has a commitment to developing new musical works of all kinds:  Eva Turner; Legacy features some of the richest, most dramatic opera arias of all time including works by Puccini, and Wagner. It explores how a talented person built her musical legacy through a lifetime of unflinching commitment to both her work and to another person.

General admission to this world premiere production will be only $18. It is a show for lovers of both good theatre, and good opera.
