seaMAN
Presented by Amica Hunter & Bruce Ryan Costella
(AKA 2 Sleepy RatGuys)
Sept. 27 & 28, 2024 @ 7:30 PM
The spray of sea salt, the creak of the boards, a flash of lightning, and BOOM! Captain Sea MAN has arrived. Looks like your 30 Minute Scenic Boat Tour just got a little bit more interesting. seaMAN is a dynamic, revenge-fueled sea-venture featuring the horror-comedy hijinks of a weird old captain with an even weirder past. A nautical nightmare of text and physical comedy centered around the outrageous stories and vengeful fantasies of one salty sailor against the entire ocean. Whether it’s dodging storms, combating scurvy, fighting a seagull, or displeasing a mermaid, Sea MAN seems to find trouble wherever he goes. What HAPPENED to him? Stuck in the past, drowning in the bottle, he is a broken man whose stories can hold you captive even as he steers you further from the safety of the harbor. He lies. He cheats. He’s a sea MAN.
Conceived and performed by award-winning fringe festival veterans Amica Hunter (ANATOMICA) and Bruce Ryan Costella (Rat Man Happy Place), seaMAN is a one man show… by two. A sweet & salty theatrical concoction that is as stupid as it is smart. Like The Lighthouse meets Gilligan’s Island.
About the Creative Team
2 Sleepy RatGuys is the collaboration of queer theatre-makers Amica Hunter (they/them) & Bruce Ryan Costella (he/they). After touring separate solo shows on the fringe circuit (Bruce’s show Spooky & Gay just completed an off-broadway run, & Amica has sold out a tour of ANATOMICA – 2023 Cincy Fringe Artists’ Pick Award), the two decided to team up. Bruce’s skill for nuanced clever text easily melds with Amica’s physical comedy training and bizarre humor.
