David’s world expands as he discovers the transformative power of musicals, both as an audience member and as a participant. Inspired by high school productions like “Oklahoma!”—where his brother Jim’s dual roles mirror their real-life relationship—and by the emotional resonance of shows like “The Grand Tour” and “Hello, Dolly!,” David finds that theater offers a language for feelings he can’t express elsewhere.
