The Shaming of the True

 A wild, genre-blending musical odyssey that follows Johnny Virgil and his band chasing fame in the dazzling yet ruthless City of the Sun. The relentless pressure to conform and commercialize their art pushes Johnny to his breaking point, fracturing the band and leading to the tragic downfall of his songwriting partner, Michael. Fueled by Kevin Gilbert's eccentric and visionary music and lyrics, the play weaves a surreal, thought-provoking tale of ambition, sacrifice, and the cost of chasing the dream.
