The Journey

The Outré Theatre Company presents a concert production of The Journey, a new musical by Kristen Long and C. Stefan King.   Sabrina Lynn Gore will direct the world premiere of this jazzy, bluesy, gritty musical slated to open in January.

Set in a post-Katrina New Orleans – a place full of magic and dreams – a group of street performers appear led by a mysterious bum who is a magician of sorts. Using street-wise insight, and a little voodoo, this unlikely griot begins telling the stories of five individuals, connected to one another by fate.  As the eclectic sounds of New Orleans frame their lives, each character chooses his or her own path, striving to find themselves and their dreams. Relationships are tested as obstacles grow harder to overcome, and as identities are lost.

Even when surrounded by the state of the nation and the dark world of unemployment, homelessness, abuse, prostitution, and drugs, there is an understanding that each of the characters of The Journey must come to accept.  Fate is only a matter of the choices we make. Life is only a journey . . .and where you go is up to you.

The Journey runs January 17th-19th, 2014, with performances Friday and Saturday at 8 PM and Sunday at 7 PM. Performances will be at the Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center, 201 Plaza Real in Boca Raton.
