The Old Man and the Old Moon

Wayne State University Theatre and Dance stages The Old Man and the Old Moon on Thursday, October 22, at 10 a.m. at the Hilberry Gateway on Cass Avenue in Detroit. It's a sea-faring tale of a moon caretaker who chases love over routine. Tickets are available online.

The Old Man has looked after the moon for as long as he can remember. When his wife, the Old Woman, is lured away by a mysterious melody, he has to choose between duty and routine or love and adventure. Lucky for us, he picks adventure.

What follows is an imaginative sea-faring epic with apocalyptic storms, civil wars, leviathans of the deep, cantankerous ghosts and the toughest obstacle of all: change.

This is the large cast edition, presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
