It’s a haunting, honest and sometimes hilarious account of a brave young man confronting and overcoming his worst fears.
Now in its second season, the Creators’ Unit is a diverse group of writers and creators from across the region who are collaborating with the Capitol to create new work for the stage. We hope that our Creators’ Unit will lead to world premiere productions on both of our stages, inspire local arts professionals to create new work for this community, and create connections between the broader arts community and Northumberland County.
