RESCUING THE RAINBOW
by Grizzly K. Sunshine
Rescuing the Rainbow by Grizzly K. Sunshine premiered Off-Broadway in August of 2016 at the 777 Theatre in NYC. This enchanting, surreal play follows Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams, as he endeavors to rescue his beloved Iris, the goddess of rainbows, who is trapped on Earth. Enlisting the help of his fellow Olympians, Morpheus leads them through a series of extraordinary challenges, including encounters with wild mountain yaks, self-inflicted avalanches, and California wildfires in the Hollywood Hills…not to mention, emo rock music! Designed for the LGBTQIA+ community, this play imparts the valuable lesson that life is about embracing every color and emotion, encouraging everyone to use all the crayons in their crayon box.
