Ever feel as though you blinked for a moment, and the world completely changed?

Imagine the plight of Randall Irving Parson, or Rip for short, who pursues a gold rush dream in 1897. A mysterious encounter with a ghostly crew leads him to fall asleep in a snow bank – and stay frozen for over a century. With global warming afoot, Rip finally thaws out… and finds himself in a world that staggers the imagination. As Rip tries to catch up to the pace of change today, there are plenty of people trying to catch him, too! We start with a classic story, then add love, loss, environmental threats, bad guys, hijinks, a puppet or two –It’s all a knockabout physical romp.

Two acts, unit set, cast of five: 3 m, 2 w (plus a large Husky puppet).
