A new full-length play with music by Seattle playwright Stacy D. Flood inspired by the lyrics of Jimi Hendrix.
The Optimist follows protagonist, Jesse, on a journey to overcome monsters, perceived or otherwise, through space and seas and heavens. Throughout the adventure, each setback and success forces Jesse to examine the nature of triumph, what victory really means, whether such is ever absolute, and how to come to ultimately come to a peace and discovery through each step of the journey.
