TRIAL SYNOPSIS

Issues of bigotry, an unethical police force and hero worship collide in this tour de force thriller. The similarities between America's past, and its present, are uncanny.

Much fanfare has been given to aviator and “American Hero” Charles Lindbergh, but TRIAL takes a look at the man that history has chosen to hide.

T R I A L is told through the lens of:

An ELDERLY BLACK MAN we refer to as THE MAN 

He appears in most scenes, unbeknownst to the other characters, and his identity is hidden until the moment he reveals it to us. He wears modern clothing, circa 2010, unlike everyone else who is dressed in a 1930’s palette. The musical is told from a unique perspective that catapults it into the present by creating a mystery within a mystery.
