Book & Lyrics by Gab Reisman
Music & Lyrics by Avi Amon
The waters are rising around Jeune Terre, Louisiana, and the land is slipping away. As scientists and state administrators bargain over the town's future, a theatre troupe arrives to tell an old story in a new way, just in time for a quickly approaching storm. As it bridges now with the near future, this play with songs explores what it means to live on the edge of invisibility in a time of atmospheric change.
