SAILING OVER A CARDBOARD SEA Comes To Peabody Heights Brewery This March

PIGEONAIRE will present Sailing Over a Cardboard Sea, an immersive theatrical spectacle that explores memory and the lush, life-giving moon.

Find out what really happened on July 20th as the nerds of NASA convene 30 years later at Peabody Heights and find, strangely, that they all remember that fateful day a little differently. Hilarity ensues in this ensemble-driven power struggle of collective memory, toxic masculinity, and myth making by debut playwright Thomas Treasure, directed by his sister, theater and performance art veteran Lucia A Treasure, and starring a cast of Baltimore weird theater's finest actors and musicians. Bookended by a gorgeous set of songs about the moon performed by Baltimore giants Emefa Agawu and JacQuan Knox, this short play runs through March in the taproom of Peabody Heights Brewery, part of an ongoing partnership between the venue and PIGEONAIRE proprietor Lucia Treasure.
