Karlee Ming Jamieson, left, as “Inbetween One” - and Maegan Whitlock as “Big One” - are two of the stars in Slawomir Mrozek’s “Out at Sea” from UTC Theatre Co.

It’s an absurdist tale of survival - and democratic decision making.

Think the story is ripped from today’s headlines? Guess again.

It’s a play - “Out at Sea” - written in the early 1960’s by Slawomir Mrozek, a playwright and satirist from Poland.

“Out at Sea” is the final production of this season from UTC Theatre Co. here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

The play runs Tuesday, April 9th through Saturday, April 13th at the Dorothy Hackett Ward Theatre stage at UTC’s Fine Arts Center.

Steve Ray is artistic director of UTC Theatre Co. - and head of the Theatre Department on campus.

Katie Forrester plays Little One.

Maegan Whitlock plays Big One.
