The Wallis Annenberg Center for Performing Arts presents the West Coast premiere of “Witness Uganda,” a groundbreaking documentary musical by Matt Gould and Griffin Matthews, running from Tuesday, Feb. 5, to Sunday, Feb. 24, in The Wallis’s Lovelace Studio Theater.

After a successful off-Broadway run, this new and revised production documents the story of a man battling to find his place in a world full of injustice and inhumanity. The Wallis’ production stars 12-time Grammy nominee Ledisi; Jamar Williams, of “Wild Goose Dreams”; Amber Iman, of “Hamilton”; and Emma Hunton, of “Wicked,”

Based on a true story, “Witness Uganda” follows Griffin, a New York City-based American volunteer, as he arrives in Uganda to help build a village school and escape his church’s condemnation of his sexuality. When he falls into a complicated relationship with a group of destitute, orphaned teenagers, he finds himself driven by a mission that will change his and their lives forever.

From the rolling hills of the Ugandan countryside to a stifling apartment in New York City, from a joyous celebration of African youth to a terrifying abduction 8,000 miles away, “Witness Uganda” explores the question, “Is changing the world even possible?”

“We’re excited to share this raw, real story about the complexity of helping others. It feels more relevant now than ever,” Matthews said.

Tickets are $50.  The Wallis is located at 9390 N. Santa Monica Blvd. For information and tickets, visit thewallis.org, or call (310)746-4000.
