Story line
"Brigadoon" is the story of two American tourists, Tommy Albright (Jim Oberhaus) and Jeff Douglas (Tony Schwab), who discover a quaint and beautiful village in Scotland named Brigadoon.
Strangely, the village is not on any map, and soon Tommy and Jeff find out why. Brigadoon is an enchanted place. It appears once every 100 years for one day, then disappears back into the mists of time to wake up to its next day a century later.
This just happens to be the day in Brigadoon that Charlie Dalrymple (Tyler Badertscher) is getting married to Jean MacLaren (Emily Dillon). Meg Brocke (Jessica Liska), a town "socialite," tries to woo Jeff and Tommy falls in love with Fiona (Deb Oberhaus), a girl of the village.
Soon he realizes that she can never be part of his life back in America. Tommy comes to realize that he is not in love with Jane (Meri Skilliter), the woman he is engaged to back in New York. Can Tommy risk giving up his life and friends to be with Fiona forever in Brigadoon?
