LOTTIE

AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA

Performed in concert at Ars Nova’s ANT Fest 2023 and at Judson Arts/The Makers Ensemble’s Inaugural PRISM Fest.

Lottie is on her way to her wedding with a secret in her pocket: the treasure map her father left her before he disappeared. When she’s attacked by an infamous band of Queer pirates and the alluring, lesbian Captain Sam Red, she makes a deal with them to sail through mythic dangers to reach what her father sacrificed everything to find. Lightning strikes between Lottie and Sam, but can they find their footing without solid land?

Lottie and the Deep Blue Sea is a new folk-rock musical about finding a little Queer utopia in a hostile world. Drinking, dancing, treasure-hunting, and historically accurate gay pirate marriages converge in this piece brimming with love, life, and fear of the oncoming storm.
