A secret shared. A community tested.
What does community mean? And what do we owe to one another? In a town running low on compassion, a mysterious outsider stands before their community—before us—to confess a life-altering choice made at the crossroads of desperation and desire. A gripping blend of fable and modern-day storytelling, this stirring, poetic solo piece invites the audience to become part of the story, weighing mercy against consequence in real time. Where We Stand explores the story of an individual driven to the brink, challenging our understanding of forgiveness, mercy, and who is truly worthy of either.
Run time: 1 hr 30 min, with no intermission
CONTENT ADVISORY
Where We Stand is a poetic, interactive solo-theater piece rich in humor, music, and heart. Though accessible for general audiences, it thoughtfully addresses mature themes such as justice, morality, and social responsibility, and contains onstage consumption of alcohol.
