The Light Chasers

There’s so much energy in us.

Teenage science whiz Nic is stuck on Earth with her practical mom while her beloved dreamer of a father is ten years into an improbable mission to the stars. Nic vows to defy what she’s always been told is possible to bridge lightyears, get a message to her dad, and reunite her family. 

This epic, world-premiere theatrical adventure based upon the album Light Chasers by indie orchestral-rock band Cloud Cult is a co-production between Know Theatre and UC CCM Acting, written by Know Producing Artistic Director Andrew Hungerford and developed with Chicago based theatre maker Jess Hutchinson, who co-directs the show.

The Light Chasers is a music-fueled story about finding hope in a broken world and the galactic distances we’ll go to heal.
