‘Chasing Fear’
Music and Lyrics by TRUTH BACHMAN
Book and Story by BLAKE MCCARTY
Chasing Fear is a new, coming-of-age musical about finding hope and strength in the unlikeliest of places. Set against a strikingly contemporary background featuring characters drawn from every corner of the earth, fantasy and reality blur in this adaptation of “The Story of the Boy Who Went Looking for Fear.” Inspired by a folktale with Turkish origins and countless variations, a world of ogres, mermaids, and witches becomes a topical and timeless reflection about outsiders and otherness.
