SeaWife is the haunted nautical tale of Percy, a young sailor turned whaler at the heyday of the American whaling trade. SeaWife received its world premier in New York in summer 2015 with Naked Angels in partnership with the South Street Seaport at the Melville Gallery. Prior to that, it was developed in part during workshops with New York Stage & Film, The Cape Cod Theatre Project, The Rhinebeck Writer's Retreat, and a concert performance at Ars Nova's ANT Fest 2014. SeaWife was nominated for 2016 Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Music in a Musical and Outstanding Lighting Design in a Musical. For more information on the show, visit www.seawife.org.
