The Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright, Will Arbery (Heroes of the Fourth Turning, Plano), hailed this script as "a story of grief so powerful, it tears the very fabric of the universe apart." On the banks of the Scottish Northern Isles, Bosco and Marcelle once cared for a son, but now they mourn the missing child. In fable, a young lad called Otter searches for a way to start over. A rich exploration through the depths of the seas brings the family freedom, love, heartbreak, and darkness. Reality and fable are far more connected than we see. A twisted and lively tale, Archipelago is a charming and surprisingly hilarious story of imagination, grief, and second chances.

On the westward trails, when our pioneering trains and companies found themselves less than fortunate, difficult decisions were made in preservation of the party. One of these decisions involved the “leaving behind” of widows and women, stranded on the side of the road, where they would wait for a more prosperous party to come along that might take them in. The Stars, the Trail, and All’s Inbetween tells the grim story of five valiant women, stuck at a crossroads, waiting for prospects to pick them up. In this strange wilderness, stranded by their parties and their pasts, they discover the irony of the plains, the futility of their decisions, and the camaraderie of Zion.
