Oh Soledad: Musical of A Journey of Peace
Based on historical reality, Oh Soledad is the story of a woman who by her very persona, dignity, and grace made a significant contribution toward changing the ethos of her previously turbulent culture to an ethos of peace (which has sustained in Costa Rica for seventy years now). We desire to share this story hoping “the spirit of Soledad” will become embraced throughout our current cultures toward the goal of peace, and away from current trends.
This work was written to address the question “How and why did Costa Rica become and sustain as a nation of peace, in contradistinction to its neighbors of similar heritage? And “How can we now benefit from this example & lesson?” Witness the mesmerizing tale of Soledad, the woman who dared to dream of peace in a turbulent world. Oh Soledad is a testament to the enduring spirit of humanity, the power of peace, and the strength of a woman who left an indelible mark on her nation. Step into a world where love for fellow man and country intertwine to create an extraordinary legacy.
