Season on the Line

Pfautsch’s modern adaptation, Season on the Line, is a love letter to American theater

featuring a 19 person cast. Melville’s story of the hunt for the white whale is

transformed into the Bad Settlement Theatre Company, beleaguered by a

dilapidated building, strained finances and a tyrannical artistic director with

a singular focus: the first-ever perfect production of Moby-Dick. A

novice assistant stage manager joins the ranks at the top of the company’s

make-or-break season and is thrown quickly into the fray. Mirroring Melville’s

unconventional form, Season on the Line is the young narrator’s look

back at the industry he has grown to love, even as those around him pay the

ultimate price in pursuit of their own great white whale.
