The Story
Trapped in a tower high above the ground with his abusive father, young Icarus devises a plan to escape. However, when wings fail and hubris takes hold, who remains to catch him? This new musical adaptation of the timeless Greek myth of Icarus serves as a tribute to those who care for us when we need it the most.
Follow the wind, see where it blows; who can know?

Meet the Characters
Icarus — a young, hopeful, and frankly naive boy with dreams and aspirations greater than himself. Though a beacon of light in darkness, his hopes are his Achilles heel.
Apollo — the god of music, of civilization, and of light; eternally youthful, but wise beyond his apparent age. He knows how the world and gods work, and has been burned before.
Daedalus — the depressed and abusive architect father of Icarus, imprisoned after creating the labyrinth, his architectural magnum opus.
The Aurae (Gaelene, Nephele, and Aura) — nymphs of the wind; Constantly calling and reminding the audience of the story at hand, these characters narrate the tale.
Ensemble — Additional company members who aid the tale through movement and through voice.
