Synopsis: Norah, Una, and Iseult set sail from Ireland to escape the ravages of hunger, only to find a new set of dangers on their ocean voyage. The so-called "coffin ships" are full of illness, squalor, and grief, and the passengers can rely only on one another and their memories for comfort. When a cruel, angry sailor refuses to show them mercy, it seems like even their stories might be lost. But they don't know that the sea that swirls around the ship is listening. The sea remembers everything. And the sea demands justice. A poetic and striking historical drama with a hypnotic ocean chorus.
Drama: 30 - 40 minutes
3 W, 2 M, 7 Any (12 - 30 actors possible: 3-28 W, 2-27 M)
Directed by: Kim Nile
Rehearsals: Tuesday and Thursday, 4:00 – 6:30 pm
Synopsis: Set in the transformative summer of 1969, A Trip to the Moon tells the story of people reaching for their dreams… dreams of love, dreams of equality, dreams of the stars. Told around the time of the moon landing, this vignette-style play is comprised of 8 scenes, each named after an iconic song from 1969. From a girl trying to convince her parent to let her go to Woodstock in "You Can't Always Get What You Want," to a woman trying to get a job at NASA in "Bad Moon Rising," to a soldier giving the new guy a reality check in "Fortunate Son," to a group of protestors showing a girl how to fight for what'’'s right in "Come Together," these scenes and more use humor and heart to teach us about who we once were and reflect on who we could be and remind us that to achieve the impossible, we must reach for the stars.
Cast size: 3 to 8m., 2 to 11w., 2 to 5 any gender, flexible.
Directed by: Kathryn Young
