Truepenny Projects presented the world premier of Lyra and the Ferocious Beast by Baltimore native Tatiana Nya Ford. Directed by Tessara Morgan and featuring David Brasington, J Purnell Hargrove, Isaiah Harvey, Francesco Leandri, Alex Mungo, Mecca Verdell, and Caitlin Weaver.

Isolated on the planet Minerva, Lyra is desperately seeking for a magical gemstone that will grant her wish for penance. She is kept company by her adopted sigma jupiaryllis and her android, Hattie, but soon the three realize that they are not there alone… there is an evil lurking in the shadows, searching for Lyra and hunting the coveted gemstone.

With design inspired by 1970’s Star Trek sets, the play was brought to life with large puppets, epic battles, projected scenery, and evocative lighting and costumes.
