The play takes place aboard the RMS Titanic on the night of April 14, 1912, only a few minutes before the ship strikes an iceberg in the cold North Atlantic Ocean. Set entirely in a first-class smoking lounge, all the characters are real people from the ship’s manifest. Some are famous, and some are unknown. Some are rich; others own only the clothes on their back. All want to survive. Join us for a captivating journey as different classes of passengers are thrown together in a single room on what, for many, will be the last night of their lives.
The cast includes students Brady Rowe, Claire Booker, John Stamper, Andrew Loos and Abigail Ewing alongside community actors Tim Smith, Geoffrey Mitchell, Charles Hupp and Denise Harper.
