ABOUT THE SHOW

ADAPTING A LEGEND

Thacher’s journey with Richard Bach’s acclaimed novel began in 1995, when he borrowed a copy from a friend during a trip to Hong Kong. He couldn’t get the story out of his thoughts. With developing the show for the Hollywood Fringe in mind, he began to investigate publishing rights in 2012, but it wasn’t until late 2021 when Thacher’s search eventually led him to the author himself. The show finally came to fruition. Throughout his quest, the magic of Bach’s novel stayed with him. And it’s this profound connection that Thacher brings to his performance.

THE TEAM

Passion demands collaboration. What was an informal gathering to gauge interest quickly became the first unofficial production meeting – everyone showed up excited and ready to invest their time and talent in the project. The production continues to benefit from the collective artistry, mastery, and devotion of the original creative team.

THE DEBUT

“Still speechless . . . Riveting . . . Inspiring!”

Not only did audiences love it, but the show’s 2022 premiere at Atwater Village Theatre planted the seeds of its unique brilliance and forged a foundation to take it forward into future iterations.
