In addition to the standard 5-person version of the show, we also have an expanded 10-19-person version available for larger groups. Both versions are extremely flexible in terms of production design and can be simple or involved as your company desires.
Synopsis
A poignant, off-beat dramedy with a kinetic pop-rock score (boasting 7 MAC-nominated songs), ISLAND SONG takes us through a year in the lives of five twenty-and-thirty-somethings sharing a city and the chain of surprising, poignant, and partially random connections that bring them into each other’s spheres at moments that become pivotal. As the city pulses around them, they all must work through their own complex relationships with ambition, distraction, and the search for connection.
Production History
ISLAND SONG premiered at the Adirondack Theatre Festival in 2016 (directed and choreographed by Marlo Hunter, musical direction by Vadim Feichtner) and has been produced and performed in concert at venues around the world, including Stratford Circus, the Chelsea Theatre and the St. James Studio in London, Comedie Nation in Paris, Crawfish in Tokyo, the Bloomington Playwrights Project, Princeton University, Oakland University, the University of Michigan, Western Carolina University, (le) Poisson Rouge in New York, and many more, with more productions planned around the world in 2018.
