WHERE WE STAND is a long-form poem with humor, heart, and music that tells the story of a man standing before his town asking them for forgiveness after he has made a deal with a mysterious stranger on their behalf. More than a recounting of events, this piece both engages and implicates the audience in determining the man’s fate. Where We Stand asks what it means to practice compassion, forgiveness, and accountability in a democracy. Join HartBeat Ensemble members director Vernice Miller and multifaceted performer Laugh Sanchez for this uniquely theatrical experience, where the outcome is in your hands.
Part of Greater Hartford Arts Council Theater Week.
