"What was lost, can be found" A fantastical puppet adventure.
A fantastical puppet adventure! At Sea is an uplifting tale of a sailor’s triumph over darkness; Non-verbal, with stunning projections and music. A life-affirming family show for anyone aged 6+.
Our Sailor is lost without their Heart Compass. Their quest takes them through Coral Reef, a Siren’s Lair, right to the bottom of the ocean. Will they ever make it out of the belly of the beast and find the way home?
