About the Show
Finley Frankfurter is a 15-year-old fisherwoman who is terrible at fishing. H.S. Crank is a grumpy old lighthouse keeper who has been sitting for 20 years in the dark. Together, this unlikely pair begins an adventure through the ocean to find the Elixir of Life, an elusive remedy that will save Finley’s father from a mysterious illness. On their journey, the pair encounter mermaids and pirates, whirlpools and their worst fears, and finally a new understanding of the meaning of family, friendship, and belief in yourself.

I believe theater is best enjoyed with a young person on one side and a grandparent on the other. This inter-generational experience strengthens families, communities and our society. That’s why Spells Of The Sea is so important to me.
When the world was dark and we faced the unknown of the pandemic, Guinevere “Gwenny” Govea was dreaming of epic adventure from the confines of her apartment. Together with her trusted friend and collaborator, Anna Pickett, they worked to breathe life and light into enchanting characters and a compelling story.
This powerful story is about healing a broken heart, experiencing a change of heart, and finding courage within each of our own hearts. I wish all these for you, me and for everyone who sees this show.
