In Search of The Mothman

Available for Production!

In Search of The Mothman follows two young sisters trapped in a life transition after an unexpected tragedy strikes their hometown. Emily is just trying to make it through her senior year and get into music school, while Jordan moves across the country to Point Pleasant, West Virginia under the joke of "searching for The Mothman". Through honesty and humor, the sisters try to work through their trauma and grapple with what lives they want to lead in the aftermath. A play about coming together and pulling away in tragedy, the confines of community expectations and whether we can truly know the people we love.

" The story unfolds into a heart-wrenching, gut-punching, nail-biting yarn, with moments where one may want to look away during this poignant, private 90-minute journey that leaves you wanting to hug these sisters."

Encore Michigan | 2024

In Search of the Mothman is a meditation on the listlessness of young adulthood; of being borne back ceaselessly into the past; the feeling of being directionless, yet hopeful."
