Synopsis

THE STORY: On a picturesque island in Puget Sound, we find a town in a crisis: The whales have gone missing.

While (unofficial) Mayor Annie searches for a solution, Chris tries to get back together with Mary; John reaches out to help Homeless Gary; Leslie longs for a faraway pen pal; Ali has come home to care for her mother; and Ella has a secret she only wants to share with local journalist Joy Mead, who she barely knows.

But what about the whales?

Is their absence just a seasonal glitch, or is it a sign of our collective failure to take care of the Earth?

DEEP BLUE SOUND is a funny and moving play about the connections we make—and the ones we long to make—to other people, and to the world around us.

Press Reviews

"DEEP BLUE SOUND argues that there is no better thing to do than turn to each other, to accept help when you need it, to find comfort in the people that love you, and to try to be better for those you love.“ —Bwog. “Devastatingly beautiful.“ —Obie Awards. “[The characters] are all searching for something. But they will all find some level of peace. …We experience this harmony."
