"Invisible Thread"

World-Pop & African Beats Fill New Musical "Invisible Thread"

Determined to find his place in the world, 20-something Griffin leaves his job and his New York City apartment to volunteer for a charity in Africa. But when his altruistic aspirations collide with the real world, his life is changed in unexpected and profound ways. Inspired by a true story, "Invisible Thread" chronicles Griffin's quest to learn whether or not changing the world is even possible. This rousing new musical from Matt Gould and Griffin Matthews -- the award-winning duo behind "Witness Uganda" -- infuses a world-pop score with African beats to electrifying effect. CBS calls "Invisible Thread" "an awesomely powerful musical that will thrill you to the bones." Tony winner Diane Paulus ("Pippin") directs the New York premiere at Second Stage at the Tony Kiser Theatre.
