In order to underscore the play’s ecological message, the production team and I committed to producing the play as sustainably as possible. We constructed the set using stock platforming and existing materials, incorporating elements from other productions to create a “natural” world from human detritus. For the costumes, we used existing stock and thrift store items, with the team deconstructing and reconstructing clothing items. For the lighting design, we used all LED sources and invested a significant portion of our overall production budget in additional LED inventory to make a long-term investment in sustainable theatrical practices. We create a digital “program” for the production and provided audience members with a half sheet paper program printed on 100% recycled paper.

Final Moment: “If dreams there still be when I’m dead and gone. It’s of a clean sea, blue waters that lie beyond”

Weed brings news of dark water

Barnacle sings, “When we think of love”

Foam confronts Weed, “You don’t look like you ever known hunger—so, you best keep quiet, boy!”

Barnacle leaves Weed behind with Sheepshead, “Be not afraid. Be not bereft”

Barnacle arrives at the Sea Urchin’s temple

“Here’s my plat-form: the thing it is. Pay attention now you’ll like this biz. It’s called: Trickle Down!”

Tears and Charmer threaten Barnacle as Gullet looks on from above

Blue Heron demands “identification” from Barnacle and Daedalus

Gullet taunts Weed and Foam

Weed tries to free his sisters as Gullet looks on
