THE HURRICANE is a country, blues, and gospel musical set in South Texas after a hurricane. A woman sits on her roof, surrounded by a flood. A young girl, mute and alone, floats by on an innertube. The woman must decide if she will help the young girl or stay put. She decides to go on a journey to bring the girl home, which transforms into a fantastical voyage of the woman's own redemption.

COVID NOTE: All audience members are required to show proof of Covid19 vaccination and wear a mask at all times throughout the performance. Drinking and eating are strictly prohibited inside the theater.
