About the Show

This musical tale follows a fifteen-year-old fisherwoman named Finley Frankfurter and an old lighthouse keeper named H.S. Crank as they journey through the ocean to find the Elixir of Life to cure Finley’s terminally ill father.

This show involves the death of loved ones and the processing of grief. All topics are handled with a youth audience in mind. After the performance, discuss what you saw and heard with the playwright, director, cast and the rest of the creative team. This workshop is a collaboration with UT Austin’s Drama and Theatre for Youth and Communities Program and Metro Theater Company.
