Photos: Curious Theatre Branch's 36th Season Begins With THE SHIP AND THE SEA
Now playing through September 29 at Facility Theatre.
Curious Theatre Branch will present the world premiere of The Ship and The Sea, written and directed by Chris Bower, now playing through September 29, at Facility Theatre, 1138 N. California Ave.
Chris Bower’s The Ship and The Sea reimagines the infamous sinking of the 17th- century Swedish warship Vasa moments after it set sail on its maiden voyage.The story is told from the perspective of the ship, too big, beautiful, and young to fail, the sea, unable to relate to any of the creatures that live and die in her body and two sailors struggling to make sense of their own short lives. Funny and profound, the play echoes our current moment of hubris and dismay.
The cast of The Ship and The Sea includes Lola Zimmerman (The Ship); Vicki Walden (The Sea); Kristy Lockhart (Captain Gamel); Andrew Schoen (Ordinary Seaman Ny); Paul Brennan (Narrator #1) and Lena Brun (Narrator #2).
The production team includes Chris Bower (writer/director); Charlotte Lastra (designer/stage manager); Jayita Bhattacharya (movement specialist); Vicki Walden (music); Lena Brun (music) and Paul Brennan (music).
The performance schedule is Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 5 p.m. The running time is 80 minutes with no intermission. Tickets for The Ship and The Sea are on sale at CuriousTheatreBranch.com. Tickets are priced on a “pay what you can” scale, with a suggested price of $20.
