In A World Without Light...
11-year-old Moth lives in a world of darkness. Here, nobody remembers there once was a sun. Folks are too tired to notice the odd and sinister workings of their steam punk city. But when Moth’s mother is overcome by “The Sleep,” Moth is forced to unplug from the world she knows to set off for the Slumberyards. On this magical theatrical journey, she unexpectedly finds a host of lost misfits who, together, save the day.
A 60-minute hero’s journey seeks imagineers, Ages 8+
