About the Show
Seven-year-old Jeremy is a world-class expert in “serious danger.” To stay safe, he maintains a meticulously cataloged notebook of 672… wait, 673 worries, ranging from spotted bananas and soggy socks to the terrifying prospect of shoe-sole-eating earthworms. While his mother, Ellie, does her best to support him, Jeremy’s rigid world is built on one simple rule: never take a risk.
That all changes when he meets Maggie. Maggie is a whirlwind who doesn’t believe in skipping sidewalk cracks or slowing down for “caution.” During an afternoon of play, the very thing Jeremy fears most—a sudden, powerful gale—catches his unzipped parka and launches him into a high-flying musical adventure.
From racing across the frozen tundra with sled dogs to being rescued by a narwhal, Jeremy is forced to navigate the very scenarios he spent his life rehearsing for. Adapted from the children’s book by Pamela Butchart, this Jeremy Richter effort explores the weight of childhood anxiety and the liberation found when we finally trade our lists for the unpredictable magic of the unknown.
