Langham Court Theatre presents the WORLD PREMIERE of West of Amchitka Lies the End of the World by J.K. Vikse
Sunday, May 24, 7pm PST via Zoom
Autumn, 1965. When Anne Thurmin returns home after a break-up, she discovers the US Navy attempting to evacuate her parents from her childhood home – tiny Kiska Island off the coast of Alaska. Naval officers, family members, and environmental activists soon crowd the otherwise deserted island, and while taking a stand against military forces Anne learns the real reason that her family is being evicted. Forced to confront the truth of her childhood memories, Anne discovers that she has a difficult decision to make: to accept the safety of a sheltered life or to finally grow up.
