David Malinsky has a secret! He wants A LOT, but he doesn’t know what it is. He has always had an image of himself, grounded in a rejection of connection and community…and even love…But in this madcap exploration of life, time, space and music, featuring a collection of songs as varied and eccentric as he is, Dave shows us and embraces his True Self, and keeps us laughing–and thinking–along the way! Featuring Musical Director Yasuhiko “Yaz” Fukuoka on piano, I Want the World is directed by Michael Kirk Lane.
