Blue is now open to further development and aims to achieve a World Premiere, continuing its journey to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative. See trailer below.
Blue, A Rhapsody in Blubber, an interactive solo theatrical piece, submerges the audience into the realm of the blue whale on a provocative and humorous journey through grief, solitude, spirituality, connection, and healing. A baby blue whale, a middle aged woman, and an old man, intertwined by whale song, dive deep into their separate yet united stories. Blue resonates with the universal pulse we all share,and inspires us to communicate clearly from our hearts to bridge large distances with others.
Recently, Lynn and director Erika Batdorf traveled to Los Angeles to present "Blue" at the prestigious curated Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival in March 2024.
Blue had a wildly successful developmental workshop production at Theatre Lab in Boca Raton, FL, which ran from May 5-14, 2023. The production received enthusiastic acclaim and demonstrated its potential for further development.
I am walking in the Valley of the Shadow of the Whale.
Breathing only on the surface with an alien heartbeat that rises
like the bubbles of air and krill.
And poop.
Whale poop is huge.
I want to feel.
A numbness coats me.
Like blubber.
A big blue blubbery numb blob.
So, what I need is for you, all of you…
I need you to harpoon the hell out of me.
Lynn McNutt, excerpt from BLUE
