Music, storytelling, and theatre for young audiences up to age 7. Wear sunscreen.

Founded in 1982 by Marlena Marallo and Patrick Wadden, the company’s hybrid performance style channels the evocative power of the arts as a force for joy, insight, and community uplift. Their low-tech devices of theatrical enchantment illuminate relations between humans and the life-support networks of this blue-ocean planet. Under the direction of Marallo & Wadden, the creative team includes musicians Maclain Maier, Joseph Davis and Helen Houghton; and performers Joanna Grabiarz, Doug Keller, Dee Dee Maucher, Nick Panken, Rakel Stammer, Soyal Smalls and MJ Smythe. Arm-of-the-Sea tours its original productions to cultural centers, festivals, and community venues throughout New York and adjacent states. The organization is transforming the ruins of a 19th century papermill In Saugerties, NY into a waterfront cultural park for bio-regional arts & science.
