For many, leadership is thought of as definitive, uncompromising, lonely, and infallible. President Hinton invites current and aspiring leaders to reframe their perspective on leadership and to see it as an opportunity to create an environment where love is the guiding principle. Where Love Leads is not based on a soft notion of love, but on a powerful approach to achieving outcomes through courage, compassion, vulnerability, and love.

In this electric, one-act musical we follow Grace, a reclusive a young pianist, who befriends the shadow on her wall. During a complete blackout, this “shadow” takes physical form and the two are forced to face their own stagnation and the consequences of physical touch. Who should hold ownership over the body that exists between them – the troubled, living person who wishes they could disappear, or the discontented spirit desperate for a second chance? Through it all, Grace and the Ghost illuminates the process of healing through our darkest moments and taking a brave step back into the light.
