THE PELICAN. A new musical set in a near-future Florida where hurricanes, rising sea levels, and an overall warming of the globe have reduced a once-bustling coastal town to a few square miles of precious dry land.
Most of the former residents have fled, seeking an easier way of life that isn’t lived at the whim of a dangerous and unpredictable environment. Our characters live amongst sunken houses, washed-out stores, and the other bones that remain of the modern world.
One of the few buildings still standing on this patch of land is The Pelican, a dive bar that has now become the epicenter of the town. The bar’s owners and regulars are a handful of people as colorful as a Florida man’s farmer tan.
Across the bay from The Pelican looms a brand new “corporate city”—where residents are promised stability and security in exchange for shiny, prefabricated lives, corporate servitude, and restricted liberties. When a new category of hurricane threatens The Pelican, the people of the town are forced to make a life-altering decision: leave and sacrifice the lives they know for safety, or stay and try to keep their town alive.
Edison
Music & Lyrics by Dylan Glatthorn
Book by Will Lacker
EDISON is a new musical that explores the darker side of Thomas Edison’s life — his successes, his failures, his loves, and his losses. This is no old man tinkering in his lab; this is a driven, young inventor willing to do anything for success.
