About

it’s quiet. the sound of waves gently lapping the shore. no one else is around. you can hear your pen scratch a letter that you’re too scared to send. then, sweeping above you in a wide arc, A LIGHT. Introducing LIGHTKEEPER, a new play with music by Julia Labusch and director Michèle Carter Cram, coming in October 2026. Deán Dreck has lived in isolation in a lighthouse for years, maintaining a tenuous peace- until one day, a letter shows up that forces him to at once settle the past and invite the future. Lightkeeper is a story about the pain of being alone, but even more, it's a story about the strength and difficulty of choosing community, even when it’s the harder choice.
