​Blue Demon Theatre Presents The Brink Of Womanhood: An Original Musical 

Show Synopsis:
The Brink of Womanhood takes place in the Victorian Era (1860s) in Norland, England. It centers around Elinor Dixon, a young woman reluctantly a part of high Victorian society with an undying dream to attend university. On her path to higher academia, she is deterred by her mother’s traditional beliefs, her sister’s wish to follow orders, and her confusing love interests. The Brink Of Womanhood is a beautiful story of what it means to have the courage to listen to your own conscience, no matter the cost.
