My Heart Says Go runs from July 11th-July 21st 2024

 

Synopsis: A celebration of risk-taking and the power of persistence, MY HEART SAYS GO follows first-generation college student, Indigo, who defies his father and drops out of medical school to
become a singer-songwriter. Indigo is accompanied on his journey by a new friend, Clara, who has her own struggles at home. By the end, Indigo and his father find a new respect and understanding for each other, while Clara experiences a loss that allows her to see the importance of family and human connection. MY HEART SAYS GO is a celebratory anthem for the next generation and a loving reminder for parents. This new pop musical is about listening to your heart, overcoming obstacles, and never giving up on those you love.
