The show runs Aug. 23 through Sept. 2, at COCA’s intimate .

 It’s 1919 in New York and the life of a young publisher is about to change forever. All of the circumstances have come to a head as he struggles between the loyalty of friendship and his secret love. Suddenly, this mysterious machine arrives spewing out stacks of paper while his hapless assistant strives vainly to stem the flood. What is written on these pages? The mixture of comedy and tragedy comment on the issues of the times, past, present, and future. 

“A wonderful new work…of serious whimsy, of glittering style and dark substance…The Violet Hour balances heights of wit with depths of feeling.”—NY Times.

The Violet Hour performances will be held at 8 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Sundays, Aug. 23 through Sept. 2.
