    A motivational solo performance examining the role of the artist in the world. Written and performed by Juilliard Theatre Graduate Jesse Wilson, Face the City is set in the High School, College and the early professional lives of four friends (The Painter, The Composer, The Journalist, and The Performer) who begin with a shared dream of artistic invincibility. When one of them decides to take his own life, his pathway to destruction is explored by The Performer who is forced to come to terms with loss, compromise, and finally escape from his own false dreams as he discovers himself walking down a similar road.

    Integrating Rock, Theater, Audio Visual Live Action and Animation in an unparalleled theatrical presentation, Face the City is an honest, moving, often hilarious, true story about redemption and the recapturing of innocence in a society that so readily tries to define who you are.

    “FACE THE CITY-- the writing, the performance… really a fascinating piece. It has such passion, conviction, muscle, and deeply moving poetic language. A must see for any college!” Craig Slaight, Associate Artistic Director, American Conservatory Theatre, San Francisco "Jesse Wilson shines with his multi-characters!" -LA Theatre Reviews

    “’FACE THE CITY’ is a powerful and transformative theatre experience.” Karin Henriksen, Summer Programs Manager, Colorado College Summer Arts Festival

    ”A cautionary tale, Jesse Wilson gives a powerful performance that goes right to the heart of what it means to be young and talented, facing a world that can break your heart.” Gerald Freeman, Chair, Social Studies Department, Los Angeles County High School for The Arts
