Animal Wisdom
Written by Heather Christian
Directed by Keenan Tyler Oliphant

Step into a musical séance like no other — where the veil is thin, the music is wild, and the spirits of memory come roaring to life. Heather Christian’s “dazzlingly original” (Vogue) piece blends storytelling, requiem, and family mythology in a musical ritual made for sinners and saints alike. A journey into the haunted spaces of memory and loss, this transporting experience comes to Signature in a thrilling new production helmed by director Keenan Tyler Oliphant, diving deep into the relationship between the soul, the seen and the unseen.

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱#goVegan 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌍💔 The more I learn about animals, the more I realise how limited humans truly are.

Mice sing ultrasonic love songs.
Crows remember faces.
Whales carry culture.
Elephants mourn.
And we call them “less intelligent”?

We don’t hear them, not because they are silent —
but because we never learned to listen.

Growing old means having seen more. And sometimes, just taking a little longer to look back.

This is the true story of a bellwether sheep who refused to get on a ship that later sank in a storm. It's always important to listen to the more-than-human ones.

"For Pontrello, the lesson evokes a potent metaphor. “The way I think about it is, we’re all on this voyage,” he says. “The sea is like the universe, the ship is you and you are the captain of that ship.”

"Of course, we each can ask: Who is our bellwether?"

The 1904 calamity of the SS Clallam — and the warning from Billy the sheep

A new song tells the tale of a steamer that sank in the Strait of Juan de Fuca in 1904 — and the bellwether sheep that knew better than to get on board.
