Fishing for Starsis an interactive, world premiere production that welcomes children ages 2-6 and their families into a world of wonder and play. In this visually exquisite, non-verbal performance, two travelling companions—Moore and Enuf—dance between the sea and sky, collecting unexpected treasures. They play with water, laugh with the stars, and lasso the moon. But when their buckets are full of light and the sky begins to dim, they have to reimagine the meaning of “more” and “enough.”
Fishing for Stars is made possible with commissioning support from the TYA Tour Development Collectivewith contributions from Charleston Gaillard Center, Des Moines Performing Arts, New 42 and the New Victory Theater, Gogue Performing Arts Center, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Wharton Center, and Wheeler Opera House.
Fishing for Stars will be co-produced with 1st Stage in the DC metro area during the 2026-27 season and will tour nationally during the 2027-28 season. Interested in bringing the show to your community? Email us for more information.
