Stirring, deeply felt musical having its world premiere at the American Repertory Theater through March 16, 2014. For once, good intentions are transformed into powerful theater.

Diane Paulus, who is directing American Repertory Theater’s production of “Witness Uganda,” says its music “didn’t sound like anything I had heard before.”

“I want to encourage people to come to this,” says Paulus.“It asks hard questions, it’s a piece of tremendous heart, and it is actually really funny.” And to reiterate, with Paulus the audience is in good hands. In Gould’s words, “There is a reason why she is the goddess of the American musical theater.”

When Griffin Matthews flew off to Uganda in 2005, he had no idea he’d return with a sense of purpose, a love life and a musical.
