Join Trinity Theatre Company's Summer Teen Intensive: Big Fish: The Musical
Based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and the Tim Burton film with a screenplay by John August, Big Fish is a fantastical and heartwarming musical. The story follows Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman whose larger-than-life adventures captivate everyone around him—especially his wife, Sandra.
However, their son Will, now about to become a father himself, wants the truth behind the tales. As he searches for answers, Will discovers the man behind the myth. Along the way, Big Fish reminds us of the power of storytelling, the strength of family bonds, and the journey of finding one’s identity.
With a soaring score, unforgettable characters, and a mix of humor and heart, Big Fish creates an extraordinary theatrical experience. The show celebrates the joy of life, the importance of family, and the stories we share across generations. This summer production will leave audiences inspired, entertained, and deeply moved.
