Gil longs to fulfill his potential. Benny is a loner anchored by his love for family. Meeting unexpectedly, these two middle-aged men form a deep bond of friendship. But as cracks appear in their fragile lives, they fight to discover what it means to be good fathers, brothers, and sons. With a soundtrack of beloved soul and hip hop classics, from “Lean on Me” to “Rapper’s Delight” and “Gettin’ Jiggy with It,” sung live on stage, Hymn is an ode to friendship and the power of song to connect us.
From the adjudicators: "The words, direction and brilliant acting took the audience on a beautifully nuanced look at family, loss, reconnection, and Black joy."
