VIDEO: Go Inside Rehearsals for the World Premiere of OCEAN FILIBUSTER at A.R.T.

BroadwayWorld has a first look at rehearsals for the world premiere play OCEAN FILIBUSTER at American Rep!

Dive beneath the waves and discover the intimate, critical relationship between humankind and the ocean. An integrated design immerses audiences inside the Senate chamber of a global governing body, where Mr. Majority introduces an "End of Ocean Bill" designed to shrink Earth's oceans into a more manageable (and marketable) collection of inland seas.

When the floor is opened for debate, the Ocean arrives to speak in its own defense...and so begins an epic showdown. Ocean Filibuster fuses myth, song, stand-up, and science to explore the vast depths crucial to our daily survival.

Check out video of the cast in rehearsal below!

This world-premiere, genre-crashing music theater experience is created by the Obie Award-winning company PearlDamour and features Obie Award winner Jennifer Kidwell playing both Mr. Majority and the Ocean, along with an Ocean Choir.

American Repertory Theater's production of Ocean Filibuster begins previews on Thursday, February 24. It opens officially on Wednesday, March 2 and plays through Sunday, March 13.
