On a picturesque island in Puget Sound, we find a town in a crisis: The whales have gone missing.

While (unofficial) Mayor Annie searches for a solution, Chris tries to get back together with Mary; John reaches out to help Homeless Gary; Leslie longs for a faraway pen pal; Ali has come home to care for her mother; and Ella has a secret she only wants to share with local journalist Joy Mead, who she barely knows.

But what about the whales? Is their absence just a seasonal glitch, or is it a sign of our collective failure to take care of the Earth?

DEEP BLUE SOUND is a funny and moving play about the connections we make—and the ones we long to make—to other people, and to the world around us.
