https://www.kennedy-center.org/whats-on/explore-by-genre/young-audiences/2023-2024/through-the-sunken-lands/ Tim J. Lord’s radio play transforms into a heartening world premiere musical following Artemis—a young girl who’s determined to fight to save her dying, flooded town with the help of Aunt Maggie… and a talking heron! The Kennedy Center Family Theater Mar. 2 - 17, 2024 --- World Premiere Kennedy Center Commission Script and Lyrics by Tim J. Lord Music and Lyrics by Avi Amon Directed by Cara Phipps Movement Directed by Ronya-Lee Anderson Music Directed by Angie Benson Be brave and create a world that is better for everyone. Six months ago, a massive flood wiped away most of Arcady. Unable to contact her family and trapped in the library, a young girl named Artemis has built the place into her sanctuary. Trying to find a way back to her Aunt Maggie’s house, Artemis soon learns of a new danger—a committee determined to claim the town for themselves. Follow Artemis, Aunt Maggie, and even a talking heron in the fight to save Arcady. Crafted with complexity and rich emotions, Artemis’ character illustrates that when she brings her whole self—disability, determination, imagination, and problem solving—to a challenge, she is strong. Through her journey, she discovers power and purpose in rebuilding her town to be better for everyone. First commissioned and released by the Kennedy Center as a radio play as part of WTYA Presents in 2021, Tim J. Lord’s play transforms into a heartening world premiere musical, with composer and co-lyricist Avi Amon, director Cara Phipps, movement director Ronya-Lee Anderson, and music director Angie Benson.
