Ocean Filibuster
Various Characters and Associate Lighting Designer, March 2021-Present

Created by Pearl D'Amour

Text By Lisa D'Amour

Music by Gene "Sxip" Shirey

Directed by Katie Pearl

Dive beneath the waves and discover the intimate, critical relationship between humankind and the ocean. An integrated design immerses audiences inside the Senate chamber of a global governing body, where Mr. Majority introduces an “End of Ocean Bill” designed to shrink Earth’s oceans into a more manageable (and marketable) collection of inland seas. When the floor is opened for debate, the Ocean arrives to speak in its own defense…and so begins an epic showdown. Ocean Filibuster fuses myth, song, stand-up, and science to explore the vast depths crucial to our daily survival.

"This is an immersive musical theater experience that does more than entrance — it jars our consciences about what is happening to our environment. It is a testament to the show’s power that this debate is so difficult to shrug off." -Mark Favermann, The Arts Fuse
