Composer, lyricist, and performer Miranda Ferriss Jones invites audiences behind the curtain of her new musical The Precipice, a dark original fairytale about two girls from opposite worlds whose friendship becomes the greatest threat to an oppressive society.

The Precipice tells the story of Iris and Polly, daughters of the Goddess of Dreams, Lady Midnight. Sent to Earth to inspire a broken society, Polly embodies the dark side of the moon and Iris the light. Separated and raised under vastly different circumstances, the sisters reunite as teenagers and must fight to preserve their identities and their bond in a world determined to stifle them. The show asks the urgent question: “What will you do when they come for your wildness?”

In this intimate salon-style evening, Jones will perform selections from The Precipice with a small band of Broadway’s finest musicians, joined by guest stars from her Collective—including artists such as Lorna Courtney, Nasia Thomas, and Eleri Ward. Get the rare chance to hear Jones sing her own songs, share the stories behind them, and invite the audience into the creative process of building a new musical.
