On November 10, 1975, the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald sank during a storm in Lake Superior, taking with it 30 men. Inspired by the Gordon Lightfoot song “The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald,” this docudrama is a compelling inquiry into the unanswered questions about that tragedy. Join us on November 10, 2025 on the 50th anniversary of the Fitzgerald’s sinking for a special, one-night only readers theater performance of the play
