SUMMARY

Troubled Water charts a journey through life’s roughest currents, where the performers navigate shifting musical currents, portraying the struggle to stay afloat when life feels overwhelming. As the waters begin to calm, moments of reflection and strength emerge. The production’s lively and bright ending transform the once-restless waters into a reminder that even our darkest storms in life can lead us to calmer shores through determination and perseverance.
