PYM (book, music, & lyrics by Sarah Fiete) is a modern, female-driven adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's only novella, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. With a vibrant, folk-infused indie rock score, this musical is a darkly comic adventure tale about a mutiny, a mystery, and a sidekick who must become the protagonist of her own story.
On April 22, 2019, PYM received an AEA Showcase Reading at Dixon Place (Main Stage). This production was directed by Marella Martin Koch and music directed by Peter Hodgson, with lighting design by Charlotte Seelig.
