Synopsis
Marathon is an original, full-length musical which takes place over the course of a 26.2-mile race. We are led by June, a 60-year-old first-time marathoner, who must run through her past to find her future, and a group of five diverse fellow runners searching for their own finish lines.
Marathon is a journey of endurance, hope, and finding connection in our modern world.
