Sanctuary
Book & Lyrics by Taylor Thomas & Connor Wentworth
Music by Taylor Thomas, Arrangements by Eli Schildkraut
An adaptation of the Icarus and Daedalus myth, Sanctuary uses the iconography of greek mythology to reimagine the world in which these stories exist today and how they end. It is with that idea that Sanctuary lives and takes flight.
