MOBY DICK Coming to Halloran Centre, 2/26

On Friday, February 26th at 7:00 PM, the Orpheum's Family Series presents Moby Dick at the Halloran Centre. Herman Melville's epic saga makes a splash in North America once again with this inventive production from Germany's award-winning Theater Triebwerk.

Set sail for a whale of a tale with young sailor Ishmael, first mate Starbuck and Captain Ahab as they voyage across the seven seas in search of the legendary white whale Moby Dick! Three gifted actors use their bodies, ever-switching hats and a variety of musical instruments to create excitement and suspense. See how a double bass and cello personify everything from the creaking of the oars to the moaning of the hull, to the elusive whale himself. Moby Dick is recommended for ages 10 and up.
