Hymnal

In a theocratic enclave deep within the American South, divine appointment shapes society. Hymnal follows Levi and Emily, childhood friends turned rivals, for the coveted roles of Acolyte and Elder of the church. When secrets and betrayals unravel, they grapple with a profound choice that could either unite or tear apart their community– guided by a deceptive Elder who claims direct revelations from God. A musical of faith, deception, and destiny.
