Synopsis
Kai is a dreamer and community organizer working to stop the demolition of a public observatory. When the supernatural starts to warp his reality and bring the ghosts of his past and the promise of his future into conflict, he goes on a journey to bring peace to his life and learns how to grieve and grow.
This is a workshop reading! Actors will be reading and singing with their scripts on music stands and there will be minimal staging and design elements. Audience members will be asked to provide feedback on their experience and perspective on the musical following the reading.
Accessibility
