Between Worlds is a powerful musical drama reimagining the cultural collision of first contact between navigator James Cook and the Hawaiians in 1779. The musical explores Cook's openness to Polynesian culture and his single-minded ambition to go ‘farther than it is possible for man to go’ in the quest for immortality.
The desires and tensions of contact shaped the ecstatic and tragic events that followed. All become caught between both literal and figurative worlds in a whirlwind of time, as the navigator’s willingness to be a Hawaiian god set the course for his own fate.

Using the energy of a live rock show, and the sentiments of an opera, the Shining Isle is an action, adventure, and love story about the battle between the forces of creation and destruction. The musical shows a collision between the normally invisible world of the gods and the lives of today's teenagers. The collision is all the more explosive because the gods are powerless to protect the innocent youth from one of their own immortals. As the story opens, Baba, and evil forces, breaks free from an underworld prison, thirsting for revenge, and seeking a young woman he must possess to re-create his own clan of murderous half-humans. Legendary Navajo and Hawaiian gods, and an Aboriginal ancestor (Dingo), join forces to try and stop Baba from capturing Adenah, a school student. When Baba arrives in the Great Southern land to track his prey, a teenage boy, Evan, foils his attack, and helps Adenah flee into the countryside. Together the two teenagers begin a perilous journey through Australia to escape Baba and find the Shining Isle - their ultimate refuge. And that's only Act 1... Binding a compelling story with highly charged rock music and ballads, if you enjoy Tommy, Hair, Godspell, and Jesus Christ Superstar, then check out The Shining Isle!
