Different Ships, Same Boat is an interactive, multidisciplinary performance combining spoken word, music, and song that explores the multifaceted ways in which Americans live, love, and laugh. Massachusetts Poet Laureate and former Poetry Slam Champion Regie Gibson and composer and storycatcher Guy Mendilow guide audiences through a series of chapters built from true stories, accompanied by a musical score spanning American Blues, classical music, and songs from older immigrant homelands. The performance is part of The Adams Theater's MA250 Festival: People, Poetry, Perspective, a state-validated celebration of Massachusetts' 250th anniversary running June 12–21, 2026.
