Project Summary:
Community conversations starting in January 2020 revealed that Palm Beach has its own unique relationship with water, climate, and climate change — leading us to fold the project into The Water Saga, our national series of plays exploring how relationships with water reveal and inform relationships with each other. We made visits throughout 2020 and 2021 and returned to finish the project in January and March of 2022. It culminated in a full day of programming and a premiere performance on April 2, 2022, at the City of West Palm Beach's Sustainability Fair at the South Florida Science Center, attended by hundreds of local families.
