Season One
Safe Landing: How the Owls Saved Me
A World Premiere by Tim Kough
Our inaugural production, Safe Landing: How the Owls Saved Me by ACE Co-Founder Tim Kough asks the question:
Can the power of human connection help heal decades of trauma?
A semi-autobiographical piece, Safe Landing follows Timmy, a songwriter, as he tries to overcome years of writer's block after a suicide attempt that lands him in a mental facility. As we follow Timmy's journey in gaining human connection, we meet the members of the ward also struggling with their mental health, trying to overcome their fears, errors, and failures from the world.
