The Sewing Circle

Step into golden-era Hollywood in this dazzling musical where a notorious group of lesbian A-listers gathers for on final, glamorous night. Join a night of bedazzlement where glamor, power, and forbidden love collide in one wild night at the fabled Garden of Alla. Our glamorous host, Alla Nazimova, reigned supreme over silent-era Hollywood, but with the dawn of the talkies, her career and her once-magnificent mansion have faded. Now, under her infamous chandelier, she must face the painful truth: she’s losing the house, and tonight will be their final gathering. With tensions high and passions igniting, personalities clash, but laughter, love, and song carry them through, culminating in a celebration of queer joy and resilience. This heart-stirring musical weaves together scandalous love affairs, witty banter, and the defiant spirit of a hidden community. As the luminous cast — from the loose tongued Tallulah Bankhead to the mysterious Greta Garbo, butch director Dorothy Arzner, sultry Marlene Dietrich, and the young starry-eyed Norma Jeane — sing their way through laughter, heartbreak, and sexual tension, they come to realize that their real home has been with each other all along. The Sewing Circle is a dazzling and intimate portrait of Hollywood's underground queer elite, a testament to the bold women who carved out their space in history and love, despite all the odds.
