HWS Theatre upcoming production tickets and information

Icarus and Amelia Earhart Had Tea This Morning

by Lizz Mangan

Icarus flew too close to the sun. Amelia Earhart flew beyond our reach. Isaac and Amy just want their art to take off. All four characters find themselves lost in a wilderness of their own creation, searching for someone else to provide a map out. Fighting self-sabotage and the desire to run – or fly – away from problems, these characters discover a way home to themselves.
