Thunderbolt
Think you know your own neighborhood? The past is never really buried.
A father separated from his daughter. A mother separated from her son. A pirate who will stop at nothing to get the object of his obsessive desire.
Thunderbolt took audiences into the tunnel under Edgewood Avenue to stage loss, piracy, and local legend within an actual neighborhood underpass.
