The Great Age of Sail

The Origin Story:

In 2020, like many of you reading this, I was stuck. Locked inside, quarantined, and without a plan. COVID wrecked a lot of my intentions for that year, but most of all it robbed me of my creative spark. For those early months, I had no ability to create. And then the strangest thing happened: A young Scottish man took a sailing song from 1700s New Zealand…and went viral. “Soon may the Wellerman come to bring us sugar and tea and rum.”

I’d heard sea shanties before. I’d poured hours into watching the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, playing Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, and just running up and down the block with a saber and an eye patch (you know, like normal people do). But this song caught me in a different place. It reminded me of my time in the Army, of marching in cadence with a hundred other miserable souls, every step in sync. And so, inspired, I finally sat down to write. What came out became the first song of our show: Never Go Home, an ode to those salty sailors that chose a life of freedom…at any cost.

We need your help. With every dollar raised, we improve not only our show, but the number of people we can afford to bring aboard. We’ll build our sets, raise our ship, and set sail onto a massive stage out here in Los Angeles…and beyond. It starts right now, and it starts with you.

There are many tiers at which to donate, and they come with some amazing perks and incentives. Most importantly, if you donate at any tier, you will gain access to the TAPED VERSION of the show down the road, roughly Summer 2024.
