UP

By Bridget Carpenter

Directed by Joan Brooks

May 4-May 19 in The Drury at The Bartell

Synopsis

On the best day of his life, Walter Griffin built a flying machine that reached the clouds. Ever since, he's tried to recapture that moment of feeling completely free. His son Mikey dreams of a different path to freedom: getting rich. His wife Helen dreams of a husband who will keep his feet on the ground.

UP is a quirky, bittersweet tale about an American family trying to escape the boundaries of the everyday by harnessing the power of the imagination.
