Synopsis

In a town running low on compassion, an exile seeks forgiveness, forcing the community to decide between mercy or justice.

A storyteller spins a tale of a lonely soul tempted by the devil’s kindness on a fateful trip to the crossroads.

Where We Stand is an epic fable of penance filled with humor, heart and music.

Press Reviews

"The language in Where We Stand bounces with rhyme, alliteration and wordplay."

— The New York Times

"This easy-going laid-back play is in your face, virtually, and drags you into the story willingly and happily."

— Maryland Theatre Guide
