## Resource

A stirring new musical filled with history, resilience, and hope has arrived. We Shall Someday, featuring a book and lyrics by Harrison David Rivers and music and additional lyrics by Ted Shen, tells the story of three generations of a Southern Black family confronting injustice, identity, and the ongoing fight for equality. Released by Joy Machine Records, the World Premiere Recording captures the emotional depth and sweeping score of this timely and deeply human new musical. Arriving during the 65th anniversary of the Freedom Rides, We Shall Someday honors the voices and sacrifices of generations who pushed America forward while reminding audiences that the fight for justice is far from over. Through powerful storytelling and moving music, the show blends family, faith, activism, and legacy into a theatrical experience that feels both intimate and urgently relevant today.
