Mercy or Justice? Where We Stand Puts the Ending in the Audience’s Hands
An immersive, music-infused story of choice, consequence, and community
Â
In this immersive theatrical experience presented as a town hall gathering, audiences are not just observers, they are participants. A neighbor, desperate and out of options, has made a dangerous bargain. Now the fate of that neighbor — and the moral direction of the community — rests in the audience’s hands. Each performance asks attendees to choose: mercy or justice?
Broadway actor and Dallas legend Liz Mikel anchors the story as a lone storyteller, conjuring an entire world through music, rhythm, and spellbinding narrative. Blending fable with call-and-response, Where We Stand transforms the theater into a shared civic space where every voice matters. The future of the town — and the fate of a soul — hang in the balance. This isn’t a game. It’s a choice. Written by acclaimed playwright Donnetta Lavinia Grays, the production runs Wednesday, February 25, 2026 through March 22, 2026, and is produced in association with Stage West Theatre.
