review - AISLE SAY

Created for our 2014 Neighborhood Garage Tour, Stripe and Spot each set sail in search of glory and conquest, but instead find themselves haplessly shipwrecked on an uncharted island. Presided over by a vaudevillian Sun and Moon, buoyed with an original musical score, and anchored to an ingenious revolving stage, this is a ridiculous and immensely creative fable for the entire family.
