2025 Fall Season

Beacons

In moments of confusion or despair, it’s easy to feel adrift, overwhelmed by the vastness of the unknown. A beacon serves as a guiding light, cutting through the darkness and offering direction. It provides a steady point of focus, a promise of a way out, and a path forward. It is a reminder that no matter how far off course you may have strayed, there is always something to lead you back. Inspired by the treacherous waters of the North Sea, Beacons is designed around an ocean aesthetic with a lighthouse prop as a central point of focus that can be called back to throughout the show. The show begins with a ship leaving port, continues with it becoming lost in journey through rough waters, and concludes with the light of the lighthouse guiding it back home.
