*ICU: A Play That As Is Also A Musical*
Written by Dan Costello
Directed by Brittany Martel
Produced by Kyle West

About the show: A developmental reading for ICU, exploring two weeks in a
family’s life when a father suddenly goes on life support. The play also
explores moving from the city to the country, senior care in America, the
medical profession, siblings, religion, and being a parent of young
children while also being the child of aging parents. There’s a lot of
fishing. And of course, it’s a love story. Did we mention it’s a musical?
