Up

Sometimes it’s tricky keeping your feet on the ground

After critically-acclaimed productions at Steppenwolf Theater and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Bridget Carpenter’s Up finally makes it to Southern California. Prepare to meet Walter Griffin. Father. Dreamer. Lawn chair pilot… who once touched the clouds. Ever since that day, Walter has been attempting to recapture that authentic feeling of complete freedom, and remained blind to the dreams of his wife and son who wish that their family could find a way to keep their feet on the ground. Up is a quirky, bittersweet tale about an American family trying to escape the boundaries of the everyday by harnessing the power of the imagination.
