Jagged Little Pill

Drawn from Alanis Morissette’s 1995 Grammy-winning album, this Tony-award-winning musical delves into the contradictory nature of being a contemporary American family—its rawness, messiness, and hope.

This redemptive musical follows the seemingly perfect Healy family as their lives unravel, revealing truths about addiction, trauma, identity, and love.

Performances are April 3-4 & 8-11 at 7:30 pm and April 12 at 2:00 pm on the Tedford Stage of the Scales Fine Arts Center. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens, and $10 for students and can be purchased online or by calling the Box Office at 336-758-1997.
