We live in an age overflowing with information. We can learn almost anything with a few taps on a screen. Yet despite all of our knowledge, many of us still wrestle with life’s deepest questions: Who am I? What do I truly believe? What is worth living for?
More than 175 years ago, Søren Kierkegaard warned that intellectual knowledge alone is not enough. We can understand ideas, beliefs, and values without ever allowing them to shape the way we actually live. Authenticity, he believed, begins when our deepest convictions move from our minds into our everyday choices.
This production asks a simple but challenging question: Are we building our lives upon our deepest values and beliefs, or merely talking about them?
That question extends beyond our personal lives into our communities. What is the proper relationship between faith and government? When should communities of faith work alongside public institutions for the common good? And when are they called to offer a prophetic critique in the name of justice, compassion, and human dignity? If faith is deeply personal but never merely private, how should it shape the way we engage the world around us?
At New Threads Theatre Company, we believe theatre creates a unique space where people with different perspectives can gather, encounter meaningful stories, and engage life’s most important questions together. Our hope is to spark conversations that continue long after the curtain falls.
Thank you for joining us. We hope this story encourages you to reflect on what it means to live authentically, and how your deepest values, spiritual convictions, and understanding of truth are shaping the life you choose to live.
