“We Will All Be Witnesses” is a demo of the title song from the show written by musical theater composer Adam Gwon (Scotland, Pa, Ordinary Days)
Each diary reveals one voice – one teenager coping with the impossible. But in the words they left us, they reveal one insurmountable truth: You may be able to kill us, but you can never destroy our spirit. These five stark accounts, set against a haunting, beautifully constructed song cycle, are a testament, and an inspiration to the best of the human soul.
