The Department of Music, Performing Arts & Music Technologies at County College of Morris (CCM) is presenting The Light in the Piazza, the annual musical this Fall Semester, to entertain and transport the cast, crew and audience to Italy in the 1950s, for a test on love and secrecy. 

Based on the 1960 novella by Elizabeth Spencer, the story is about Margaret Johnson, a wealthy Southern woman, and Clara, her daughter, who is developmentally disabled due to a childhood accident. The two spend a summer together in Florence, Italy. When Clara falls in love with a young Italian man, Fabrizio, her mother reconsiders Clara's future and a secret that could change everything.
