Director's Note: Around The World In 80 Days

There is nothing like travel to change your perspective. You learn things about yourself and the world. Phileas Fogg begins his incredible journey on a bet and, despite his precise calculations, learns there is more to life than mathematics.

We are all on a journey. We are all racing the clock. It is these adventures along the way that make the journey worth taking, and these characters you meet, however briefly, that impact your life. And if your journey doesn’t change you, well then…you are not alive.

This is an expedition of epic proportions and we really want you to take this journey with us. You are the final component in making this trip happen. We only have 5 actors and a few set pieces—no fancy stage tricks, no CGI, no computers, no cell phones, just some actors telling a story. In order to go aound the world we need you and your imagination.

Have fun, ride the ride.
