The Wind People
Book, Lyrics, & Music by Heather Megill

Eight villagers live in an encampment in the American southwest 100 years in the future during a century long drought. Living in makeshift shanties and off of weekly rations, they believe their work in the nearby factory assists in the war effort. When the electronic speaker in the center of their village malfunctions, a man from outside the encampment enters their world, bringing with him confusion, the truth, and prompting the unraveling of a prophecy that will bring hope and liberation to the oppressed “wind people.”
