Terestea
An Original Fantasy Adventure
Terestea [TEH-res-tee] is an original new musical with music and lyrics by Mikey Marmann and a book by John Cavaseno.
The Kingdom of Terestea faces imminent destruction due to the royal family’s misguided taking of the Phoenix Crystal, a magical gem that once gave life and fertility to their land. Now, Robin Mander along with his brother, Jay, seek to right the wrongs of the past and save their homeland. Meanwhile, Princess and heir to the throne, Natalia Terra must reconcile with her family’s choices and decide what kind of leader she will be.
This exciting, new musical asks its characters, as well as its audience, what they would be willing to sacrifice for the world they wish to create.
