Ever dreamed of hiking the Appalachian Trail? Join Erin Burke-Moran, formerly of the band Caspian, and his wife Adrienne as they share their journey to get closer to nature and, in the process, rediscover themselves. Through songs and stories, Erin and Adrienne will narrate their transformative experience on the trail, brought to life in THRU HIKE, a new play with original music based on this life changing journey created by Punctuate4 artist-in-residence Michael Cormier.
Protecting and valuing our planet is important for everyone. This Earth Day, April 22, be among the first to hear Erin and Adrienne tell their story and read scenes from this new musical adventure. Following the video presentation and partial reading there will be a talkback with Adrienne, Erin, and Michael Cormier as the moderator.

Erin, having performed over 800 shows across 40+ countries as a guitarist for Caspian, along with Adrienne, is thrilled to collaborate with Michael and Punctuate4 to share their story onstage in Beverly. This project is deeply rooted in the Beverly community, with Caspian's founding in Beverly in 2003, Punctuate4 being Beverly-based, and the invaluable support of Donnie and Lisa Crowell from the Larcom Theatre in Downtown Beverly, as well as the generous backing of the Beverly Cultural Council.
