BLURB (a short synopsis)
STARBOARD HOME is the new Turn-of-the-Century New Year’s Eve musical: "Titanic" meets "Gilligan’s Island" splashed with “Downton Abbey” in this six character musical romp set aboard ship on New Year’s Eve 1899. Three mismatched couples, a lost ring, a whale who snares the ship’s anchor, and ‘mysterious identities revealed’ all contribute to the musical merriment and mayhem.
