SHINE! is a story of six people coming out of COVID and emerging back into the community. Unsure and unsteady, they find their way together in this newly devised non-verbal piece.  James Fletcher, writer and director, and Molly Kiefer, movement director, take you on a 45 minute sensory immersive journey through sights and sounds of community, connection and creation.

SHINE! was first created and performed in Summer 2021, one year after the start of the COVID pandemic. Pink Umbrella and the cast and crew of SHINE! are excited to bring this beautiful journey once again to audiences at Summerfest's Northwestern Mutual Community Park.
