finding real, human connection by playing pretend

Here’s the Exit Theatre Company is honored to present the Chicago premiere of wayfinding by Whitney Rowland, directed by Hudson Therriault.
Jane is an emotionally-numbed new widow. Harrison is an inattentive, self-sabotaging fiancé. In seeking escape, these two strangers collide – both literally and figuratively – tangling their life lines and setting them on a time-bending journey involving an intercontinental plane crash, a magical forest, and a choice that leads them both to an unexpected destination.

wayfinding is a delightfully human play that deals unflinchingly with grief, self sabotage, and loneliness while daring us to hope. Wonderfully complicated leads and a host of compelling supporting characters are led on a journey bending time and space. wayfinding pairs elements of magical realism with a deep emotional core and shows us that connection is worth it, even when it hurts.

We are seeking a skilled and thoughtful lighting designer who can capture the mystic and surreal nature of this script and take our audience on a journey through time and space.
