Red and black poster with the word "Faustine" and a distressed woman’s face partially covered by a shadow.

FAUSTINE

A one-woman musical like no other with a book by Lydia Brinkmann and music and lyrics by Sarah Norcross.

Faustine tells the story of a burnt-out but brilliant PhD student who sells her soul to the devil in exchange for a dissertation. What lengths will Faustine go to to get what she thinks she deserves? Watch Faustine's fast-paced hilarious? downward spiral in this 60-minute horror musical that audiences are calling "haunted, twisted, and fucked-up".
