In a different world, three childhood friends are trapped in a cell by a mysterious captor, The Blood Wizard. Zig-zagging through time, we learn the deep, complex relationships of the three: Korin, a dreamer with the power to conjure images, reckons with her vital role in their universe. Mera, a descendant of fierce warriors, contends with her destiny. Bardo, a baker, strives for peace, even as the threat of war is upon them. Complex feelings of friendship and love weave their way into the trio's relationship as they careen closer to finding the identity of their captor, and accepting their true feelings for one another. Luxurious music and sumptuous lyrics make Held a heartrending, one-of-a-kind musical experience.

Originally born from Madison-based companies Are We Delicious? and Broom Street Theater, HELD performed at Fringe NYC in 2016 and had a reading at the prestigious New York Musical Theater Festival in 2018. Now, the show comes home for a new, multidisciplinary production with dancers from XTension Dance Company and art created by Arts For All.
