Magic Theatre presents For Honor: A Workshop Production in the theater in Building D, Third Floor at Fort Mason Center For Arts and Culture. For Honor is a sweeping original musical about resistance, sacrifice, and the human cost of courage. From acclaimed director Lee Sankowich comes a new work that redefines the war musical for a new generation.

Set during the Warsaw Ghetto Resistance and Uprising of 1943, For Honor follows a group of young Jewish fighters who choose defiance over despair. As their world collapses under Nazi occupation, they forge weapons, bonds, and love in the shadows. At its core, For Honor is a story about ordinary people rising to extraordinary bravery – told through an unforgettable score that fuses urgency with beauty, heartbreak, and home.

Although a challenging subject, one has to look no further than Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, or Cabaret for examples of compelling and important musical storytelling during times of war.

With emotionally powerful solos, driving ensemble numbers, and moments of raw intimacy, For Honor asks: What does it mean to fight for something larger than yourself? And what is the price of dignity when survival is no longer the goal?

Robin Bradford wrote the lyrics and William Beatty composed the musical score.
