Niagara is the story of six people traveling to the historic landmark; inextricably tied to each other and all hoping the famous waterfall will give them the answers they seek. The story is set against a contemporary musical theater score that expands across multiple genres with dashes of magical realism. The narrative provides a frank examination of our commitments, our ambitions, and how we're all much more connected than we realize. Forgiveness and grief, like life, are waterfalls; unable to exist without the sensation of crashing down, but continuously flowing and always moving forward. Niagara is a celebration of family, a universal story of the importance of life's choices, and a study of how a lifetime of decisions shapes our individual journey.
