The Journey Play is a constellation of performance. Eighteen months of programming moving from a grog soaked tavern to the depths of the abyss, out to sea in search of a lost limb, and on into the unknown. PETE has conceived our constellation as an interconnected series of art objects, events and experiences inspired by a singular piece of source material.

There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the true method

-Melville, Moby Dick

At the center of our constellation is a play: [or, the whale] by Juli Crockett. Beneath this play is a book: Moby Dick, by Herman Melville. Our full ensemble of associate artists and founding members has worked together on each project, creating resonance between each individual performance and the constellation’s whole.
