Written and directed by Court Dorsey, Swamped is a world premiere featuring Steve Eldredge, Joe Laur, Izzy Miller and Heather Willey; sound design by Brian Bender, set by Tim Holcomb, lights by Pedro.
Captain’s lost his wife. He’s marooned in assisted living with his red state values — and his non-binary caretaker, Clove. The Captain’s almost-son Stephen loves Kat, a woman at a crossroads who doesn’t want a firm hand anywhere near her. Everyone is swamped, and knowing each other may be their only hope.
