The Mountain of Peace" is a full-length musical that conveys the story of five international families living in various parts of the world, each of whom loses as loved one to the ravages of war. These experiences lead the groups into seeking solutions at a peace summit upon The Mountain of Peace. Through dance, song, and drama, they convey their pain, their joys, and the difficult process of healing that leads to inner peace, a prerequisite to outer peace. The music of Frances Key and Cyrille Verdeaux powerfully enhances this dramatic and inspiring story, as local singers and actors lend their talents to convey this vitally important message to our community.
