Press notes for Stunt Girl read: "Before tabloid television, before the paparazzi, back when the news business was new...she was the original sensation. Nellie Bly was a groundbreaking investigative journalist, an intrepid world traveler, and a captain of industry — all in a time before America gave women the right to vote. Bridging the years from the turn of the twentieth century to the First World War, this remarkable woman comes to tuneful life in the rollicking new musical Stunt Girl, a fast and funny account of her life and loves, her hopes and heartbreak, and her fascinating times."

Stunt Girl has scenic design by Scott Fyfe, lighting by Alex Berry and costume design by Melanie Burgess. Tickets for the Issaquah run of Stunt Girl go on sale Feb. 11 and for the Everett run on March 25.
