High Tide

Director: Natalie Fields
Stage Manager: Maria Allgeier
Cast:
Bo: Michael Roberts
Hurley: Kelly Kapp
Triton: Brianna Clemerson
Mom: Wendy Hames
High Tide is a play about sibling rivalry, dead mothers and transporting octopuses. Bo, Triton and Hurley have never really gotten along that great. Competitiveness and divisiveness have always gone hand in hand with them being siblings, particularly as they became adults. When their mother dies, her last request is for them to finish the work she started as a marine-life vigilante and transport an octopus she’s stolen from poor conditions at a Florida aquarium to a friend in Maine who will release it back to the waters from which it came. Part road trip comedy, part family drama and part mystical pilgrimage; it’s a play that looks at the relationships of brothers and sisters, of man and animal and the benefits of not always being completely sober.
