Trouble Puppet Theater Co. reimagines Melville's classic: Ishmael heads to the sea to soothe his restless spirit, and ends up on a whaling ship captained by the mysterious Ahab. Will Ahab's vision lead the crew to whaling glory or a watery grave?

Featuring a live score by Montopolis’s Justin Sherburn with whales created by Seth White and Connor Hopkins.
