Hawks Mainstage Theatre
For as long as he can remember, The Old Man has taken care of The Old Moon by climbing a ladder each night to refill its light. When a mysterious melody beckons away his wife, the Old Man finds himself torn between the familiarity of duty and routine and the allure of love and adventure. With music evoking memories of their shared history, the Old Man decides to abandon the moon and embark on a quest to bring back his wife. Highly creative storytelling allows audiences to experience The Old Man’s epic journey over land and sea. Described by Time Out New York as “a transcendent theatrical experience for all ages,” this original musical folktale speaks to the child in all of us and reminds us of the unwavering power of love and the most formidable obstacle of all—change.
