But when his altruistic aspirations collide with the real world, his life is changed in unexpected and profound ways. Inspired by a true story, this new musical infuses a world pop score with African beats in a journey about discovering whether changing the world is even possible."

Invisible Thread is produced in association with the American Repertory Theater, where the musical held its world premiere in February 2014 under the title of 'Witness Uganda.'
