In the whimsically theatrical world of Jump, lights flicker, hearts heal, and a young woman finds solace on a bridge. At once heartbreaking, hilarious, and hopeful, Jump is about the connections we share - with family, with friends, with strangers - the connections that bind us together, and lead us into the unknown.
Written by Charly Evon Simpson, co-recipient of the Dramatists Guild's Lanford Wilson Award, and directed by Shrewd Artistic Director, Shannon Grounds; Jump stars Chelsea Manasseri, Allegra Jade Fox, and Trey Deason, and features set design by Indigo Rael, lighting design by Patrick Anthony, sound design by Nick Hart, and costume design by Kaylee Silcocks.
Jump is produced by Shrewd Productions as a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other partnering theaters are PlayMakers Repertory Company (Chapel Hill), Confrontation Theatre and Milago (Portland), and Actors Express (Atlanta) with support from the David Goldman Fund for New American Plays.
