Hear Ye! Hear ME!

Special notes:

This is an interactive performance where participants will engage with the set and characters.

Recommended for adults who want to help their younger ones develop their own voice and sharpen their critical thinking skills!

A royal proclamation is seen pinned to your door. It reads:

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The kingdom is calling for young Compassionates for the next harvesting season!

Enter the city walls and fulfil your rightful duty in helping the kingdom ascend to the Central Compassion Hub (CCH) of the region. Under the leadership of Lord Gardos, your Esteemed Noble, you will be given an opportunity to leave your mark and legacy within these very walls. As a Compassionate, you will be assigned to a role and get a chance to make your own choices to help influence the Kingdom’s development (within the King’s plan, of course).

Get ready to immerse yourself in this fantastical kingdom obsessed with compassion and make your own choices for the betterment of your people. Will you stick to your gut, or will you eventually succumb to the insidious pressures lurking in the kingdom’s shadows?

Audience participation is highly encouraged! Use your voice to challenge the various characters you encounter, and you may leave a mark upon this kingdom’s history!

This showcase will consist of a performance and a facilitated discussion with the artists.
