Cape Cod Premiere: May 8th, 2023, 4 pm., First Congregational Church in Chatham, MA
The lives of six whaling women...in their own words.
Whaling Women is a lyrical score that marries composer Jodi Goble’s original music with the historically accurate sea chanteys, hymn tunes, and lullabies of the 19th century. Whaling Women tells of love and loss, whether at sea-chasing whales and braving the dangers of shipwreck, or on land managing households and fighting for social justice in their communities.
Featuring: Melynda Davis, Heather Gallagher, Emily Harmon, Helen Hassinger, Dr. Matthew Larson, Diana McVey, Patrice Tiedemann, and Scott Hamilton as The Man in the Boat.
Tickets are $25 and are available through Eventbrite and at the door the day of the performance.
