A transformative musical production that interweaves a Passover Seder with personal stories of addiction, Freedom Song poses one stark question—“what are you a slave to?” By interweaving a Passover Seder with personal stories of addiction, Freedom Song poses one stark question—“what are you a slave to?” The cast of Freedom Song is not a cast of actors; they are actual addicts in recovery that have broken off the shackles of drugs, alcohol, gambling, and other destructive behaviors. By performing in Freedom Song, our interchanging cast members have an opportunity to answer questions from the audience and share their experiences on how best to recover from a lifestyle of addiction. Using song and dance, tears and laughter, and an intense post-show discussion with our cast, Freedom Song will open your eyes to the real-life struggle against the ‘bondage of self’ that we fight every day.
