IS THERE A
CREATURE
THAT INHABITS THE WATERS OF
LOCH NESS?
The new musical Loch Ness has book, music and direction by Marshall Pailet (Triassic Parq, Who's Your Baghdaddy?) and book and lyrics by A.D. Penedo (Who's Your Baghdaddy?). Is there a creature that inhabits the waters of Loch Ness? 12-year-old Haley is stuck on her father’s research expedition that aims to answer that question once and for all. Struggling with the unexpected disappearance of her mother at sea, Haley escapes her father’s ship to find her, but instead she finds the most legendary water monster of all time. Upon learning of the creature’s dark history, the two embark on an epic quest to escape Loch Ness in this larger-than-life musical adventure.
Loch Ness has been featured at Chance Theater (Anaheim, CA), the Adirondack Theater Festival, and The Rev (formerly Finger Lakes Musical Theater Festival) where it won numerous regional awards.
