Fishing for Alaska follows Sturgis' entry into the thick of Alaska's commercial fishing world. Over two summers, three years apart, he worked as a deckhand on fishing boats with unforgettable characters, heart-stopping dangers and a closeup view of the power of Alaska herself. Fishing for Alaska is an epic tale of a New York City theater guy, who is taken in and accepted by a very different community, a bridge too rarely found in the cultural wars and political polarization of today. "I was surprised at the strength of brotherhood among fishermen. I formed tight bonds with all my mates." As Sturgis learned, ensemble is everything on a fishing boat. As it is in theater. As it should be in this country.

In 2026, this country needs to find new ways to come together again, to better understand our diverse circumstances and worlds. We think that Fishing for Alaska is a small step in that direction.

Performances are Mondays and Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7 PM and Sundays at 3PM. While the basic ticket for Fishing for Alaska is $25, we have a $10 budget ticket, available to anyone who needs it.

Nominate your favorite local productions and performers before the deadline on October 31, 2026.
