about the project

A mother and son search for a new house on the coast while a boy spends sleepless nights between two worlds. There's a storm brewing. the shape of a child is a music theater piece that explores growing up, forgetting, and other consequences of boyhood.

Influenced by experimental/contemporary concert music, indie rock, and musical theatre idioms, the score consists of near-continuous music in the form of solo songs and underscoring that utilizes the musicians as storytellers.
