In collaboration with The Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts and The Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State University Theatre continues its 2022-2023 Season: To Oregon, With Love, with They Shall Be the Sea: There Is a Way Forward, a new play by OSU Theatre student Abrianna Aydee.

When Terry, Avery, and Cordelia wake up on a strange island at the edge of the universe, they are confronted by the mysterious Cats, who informs them that it is up to them defend all of humankind to the Ocean. This funny and poignant new play directed by OSU Theatre faculty Elizabeth Helman explores our relationships with each other and with the natural world and is an exciting first collaboration between OSU Theatre and the Hatfield Marine Science Center.

The cast features OSU students Lilli George (Cats), Nathan Hastings (Terry), Mei Meng (Avery), and Sydney Tag (Cordelia) as well as original music compositions and artwork by OSU students. 

Tickets are available through pre-sale or by contacting the OSU Theatre Box Office at 541-737-2853. At-door sales will be available at Hatfield one hour prior to scheduled performance times.
