Experience one of the great American novels reimagined through the visionary theatrical style of Orson Welles. Interlochen's Theatre Division presents Moby Dick: Rehearsed, Welles' inventive adaptation of Herman Melville's literary masterpiece, transforming the epic tale of Captain Ahab's relentless pursuit of the great white whale into a thrilling play within a play.

As a troupe of actors gathers for rehearsal, everyday props, costumes, and imagination bring the high seas to life, blurring the line between rehearsal and performance. Welles' bold theatrical concept celebrates the power of storytelling while exploring timeless themes of obsession, ambition, fate, and the human spirit.

Filled with inventive staging, compelling performances, and striking theatricality, Moby Dick: Rehearsed offers audiences a fresh and captivating interpretation of a literary classic while showcasing the extraordinary talent of Interlochen's emerging theatre artists.
