In A Sea of Faces is a folk tale about an island that is sinking into the sea, and the family that sinks with it.

“Sood succeeds in creating a tender and original story through In a Sea of Faces. Most impressive is Sood’s exquisite score, complete with stirring anthems and characterized solos, all written with the bouncy, seafaring lilt of a Gaelic hymn and sung by a masterful cast. … This show deserves many lives more. For a play about longing to escape, it’s not hard to be charmed by the alluring if not isolated world of Sood’s island, to want to stay there and play a little while longer.” – Greenpointers.com

The show toured the coast of Maine in the summer of 2016, reaching Southwest Harbor, Bass Harbor and Rockland before returning to New York to play September 15-25, 2016 at Cloud City, Brooklyn, NY.  The Maine tour and Brooklyn showcase were directed by Katie Melby, music directed, vocal arranged and orchestrated by Max Mamon and featured cast: Meghan McGeary, Andrew Lynch, Ashkon Davaran, MK Morrissey, Me’lissa Smith, Elias Wygodny, Phoenix Gonzalez, Andrew Simon and band: Jeremy Yaddaw, Eli Zoller, Tim Wendt, Nate Lesser and Mike Preen.
