We sail to venues with different iterations of the show, from the full story with poetic narration, dialogue written by an award-winning playwright, original music, dance, costumes and set design, to music-focused events tailored to each venue. Our educational programs for children leverage the power of storytelling as a launching point for engaged learning. A collective enterprise, our crew regularly welcomes guest artists to join us in staging unique events: our recent performances have included a musical band, a dance and theater troupe, a children’s ensemble, and aerial artists.
