The Underwater Palace 

Rivers flow.

So do stories. 

​

The Underwater Palace is a deeply symbolic and richly layered theatrical work that explores the interplay between myth, memory, and identity. Offering a meditation on the transformative power of shared narrative, the story follows Haminah, a young woman torn between her devotion to a mystical river prince and the expectations of her family. In a unique storytelling approach, the role of Haminah is played by each member of the ensemble, reflecting the fluidity of identity and the collective nature of storytelling. Through poetic language and folklore, The Underwater Palace examines themes of love, sacrifice, and truth, exploring how stories shape and connect us across generations.

Featuring: Michael Bradley Cohen, Alexis Fishman, Weston Ganz, and Geoff Rice
