THE WILDERNESS​

Somewhere between the shadows and the light, a young woman wanders into a mysterious wilderness searching for one thing… Her voice.

Abayomi navigates a mysterious wilderness. She confronts fear, identity, and generational wounds passed down. She faces a powerful truth: healing begins when we finally face ourselves. 

​​

An immersive Pan-African experience where theater and poetry breathes, bodies tell stories through movement, and music guides.

Experience the incredible artistry of American Idol Season 24 Top 20 Semi-Finalist Abayomi Lewis, along with an amazing cast who brings this story to life.

​

This is far more than a show; it is a shared invitation for our community to reflect, connect, and heal together. Because we believe stories like this belong to be heard and seen by everyone, admission is completely FREE.
