From the Jansen Art Center website:
Step into the world of Swept Away, a powerful musical-theatre experience making its regional premiere at The Jansen Art Center. This captivating one-act production unfolds over 90 unforgettable minutes, inviting audiences into a story filled with heart, depth, and soaring musical moments. Join us as we celebrate this special debut and share an evening of compelling performance and artistry.

In 1888, four men aboard a whaling ship—Mate, a haunted soul; a guilt-ridden Captain; Little Brother, an adventurous romantic; and his devout sibling, Big Brother—are shipwrecked off the coast of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Stranded on a lifeboat, they are forced to confront their pasts, moral choices, and the limits of human endurance as they fight for survival. Their story unfolds through the poetic book by John Logan and the hauntingly beautiful and raw music of The Avett Brothers, with a gripping narrative that explores themes of sacrifice, forgiveness, brotherhood, and redemption. Performed in one act, the show keeps audiences immersed and emotionally on edge throughout the harrowing journey.

***Rating: T+ (Teen 13+)

Swept Away: The Musical contains mature subject matter, including themes of death, grief, survival, morality, and mortality. The production features strong language, intense emotional situations, and depictions of peril at sea that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Parental guidance is strongly recommended for viewers under 13.***

This production is accompanied by a live orchestra.
