What could possibly go wrong when an Amish widow decides to teach a weekend quilting class? Well... throw in a biker, a Marine, a quarrelsome couple, and a few more crazy characters and see what happens. From the same creative team that brought the hit musical, The Confession, Blue Gate Musicals presents - Half-Stitched!

Cultures collide and personalities conflict when six loose threads and an Amish widow spend a weekend together learning a lot about quilts, and a bit about themselves. This Broadway-style musical comedy/drama will have you bent over laughing, and then fighting back the tears, with intriguing relationships and unforgettable melodies.

With 100s of standing ovations and 1000s of happy patrons in the basket, come see what all the fuss is about !!! Based on the best-selling novel by Wanda Brunstetter, Half-Stitched opens at The Blue Gate Theatre on March 24th, 2022.
