MILLION BELLS OF OCEAN

Set in a provocatively surreal arena, The Million Bells of Ocean is the strange and compelling story of one man's journey to visit his brilliant, dying father.

When Matthew's flight to Arizona makes a forced landing in Los Angeles, a chance encounter with his estranged nephew forces Matthew to make a life-defining decision: will he continue on to see his father in Phoenix, or stay in Los Angeles to try to save his troubled nephew?

"Direction by Kimberly Glann hits with some elegant and humorous scenes of inspiration."

"The dense, circuitous textual pathways find buoyant clarity."'

-Back Stage West

"What begins as a father-son story soon transmutes into a picaresque uncle-nephew redemption tale, replete with a road trip to the ailing patriarch's bedside in Arizona that traverses land, air and sea as charmingly depicted through pantomime and minimal props."

"An entertaining...production."
