2. The Power of One

In The Power of One, 19-year-old Ava (Peyton Brown) is passionate about social justice but disillusioned by the political process. This year is her first opportunity to vote in a Presidential election, but she is unconvinced that her vote will make a difference. Her mom Kelly (Ame Livingston) wants to help her understand the power of her one vote, so she signs skeptical Ava up for a shift with Ride2Vote, a rideshare service to help citizens get to the polls. Ava meets four voters along the way: Bethany (Laurel Hatfield), Lucas (Kerry Alce), Frank (Kevin Brassard) and Sofia (Alina Alcantara). Each voter has a story that illuminates issues and concerns facing Central Floridians this election cycle, from poverty and homelessness, to black lives and African American communities, to patriotism and veterans issues, to issues such as LGBTQ+ rights and immigration issues. Through the lenses of each of these stories, Ava discovers the power of her one vote is greater than she ever imagined. After each episode airs, Theatre at St. Lukes will invite viewers to stay online and join in a Community Conversation led by St. Lukes United Methodist Church Lead Pastor, The Rev. Jennifer Stiles Williams who will be joined by subject matter experts and leaders from around Central Florida. These Community Conversations will help viewers go deeper with each issue raised by the series and connect with local opportunities to use their time, their gifts and their voice to make a difference in Central Florida.
