“Emma the Greek will sail the seas alone to save her father; Noah will search for his wife who flew off a bridge; Elise will fight the dragons snapping at her heels as she drives each night to lull her baby to sleep; Caleb, a curious misfit, will swim vast oceans to prove his love for Sylvia Wist; Sylvia Wist can climb up waterfalls and jump time and space. She may not be ordinary but then neither is love. |

AT SEA, STARING UP is a richly poetic magical relationship drama that follows the journeys of five characters all motivated by love. Set over three continents and one vast ocean this richly poetic, thought provoking play weaves together a world of people who have lost, or are looking for love.”
For our inaugural production, we are producing Finegan Kruckemeyer’s AT SEA, STARING UP. Originally commissioned by JUTE Theatre Company in Australia in 2012, this will be its North American Premiere. Finegan Kruckemeyer has had over 79 plays for children and adults produced worldwide, including a commission at the Kennedy Center this November. AT SEA, STARING UP is a globe-spanning story about five young people that are searching for direction, understanding, and a place they belong. As a new theatre company in DC, Finegan’s play speaks to us as we begin to explore our place as people and artists, and we believe anyone that has ever lost their way will see themselves echoed in these characters’ journeys.
