Astonishing sea creatures! A spectacular submarine! Plunge deep into the pages of Jules Verne's TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and get swept away. This inventive reimagining of the classic science fiction novel follows Jules, a modern-day raconteur, as he finds himself transported into his favorite story. When he climbs aboard the Nautilus, helmed by the infamous Captain Nemo, he sets off on a fantastical aquatic action adventure. Brought to stunning life through a mix of multimedia magic, eye-popping projections and interactive technology, this time-honored tale considers humankind's place in the world and illuminates the mysteries that lie in the vast expanse of the ocean deep.
From captivating collaborators Craig Francis of Kidoons and Rick Miller of WYRD Productions, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea connects the classic Jules Verne adventure with contemporary environmental issues. Miller brings his multidisciplinary theatermaking to bear on Francis's penchant for activism in theater. Together, they've paired live multimedia storytelling with online education tools and partnered with leading scientists and conservation organizations to show audiences how individual actions can influence the global environment—and shape its future.
