Director’s Note

Unreal City is the story of people trapped in their own isolation. In this show we witness fragments of their lives told through song vignettes. Even though each song gives us a glimpse of different stories, the stories of each character are tied together through their themes and arcs. All of these characters are hurt people in broken, fragmented relationships. We see fathers who hurt, husbands who cheat, lovers who lie. It is not until each character can reckon with their own faults and accept the help from community around them that they can move out of their isolation and into a hopeful future.

If you see yourself in one of these stories, my challenge to you is to seek community and embrace Love, Mercy, Self-control, and may that lead you to the Peace that only our Lord, Jesus Christ can give. A peace which surpasses understanding. Shantih.
