Ballet Magnificat!’s Prodigal’s Journey:

Life in a small town is shaken up when a husband suddenly forsakes his loving wife and daughter and leaves with the desire to “be free and find enjoyment and fulfillment in life.” Heartbroken, the wife and daughter struggle to forgive him and eagerly await his return. The journey that the husband thought would bring pleasure ends up producing only sorrow and regret. After reaching the “dead-end” of a lifetime, the husband returns home to ask forgiveness from his family — and he is received with open arms.
