by Resident Playwright Alice Austen
Directed by Artistic Director Russ Tutterow
In a small, tight-knit community in the Pacific Northwest, a place where it seems like everyone is related, the deep, cold reservoir on the outskirts of town is a source of life-giving water and a dangerous place that can swallow a whole family. One woman’s actions send shockwaves through the community, revealing the underlying struggle of small town America just to keep afloat. Will their efforts to make sense of an incomprehensible act lead the inhabitants to a healing baptism or a tragic drowning?
