The Future of "Man's Search for Meaning" at Sea Dog Theater

Want to help launch a world premiere in New York City?

You’re in the right place.

This play has been years in the making — forged through workshops, rewrites, late-night questions, and unforgettable conversations with audiences. What began as a staged reading in a small NYC theater has grown into something urgent, alive, and ready.

Now it’s time.

We are raising $100,000 by the end of 2026 to bring the world premiere of Man’s Search for Meaning to the New York stage.

This isn’t just another production.

It’s a bold, theatrical exploration of Viktor Frankl’s life and the radical idea that meaning is possible — even in suffering. In a city hungry for substance and connection, we believe this story belongs in the room.

Your gift fuels:

✨ Actors and designers bringing the story to life
✨ A fully realized NYC production
✨ Original music and immersive design
✨ Community conversations and talkbacks
✨ Outreach to students, artists, and seekers

This is new work.
This is mission-driven theater.
This is Sea Dog.

Help us raise $100,000.
Help us bring this story to the stage.
Help us make meaning visible in New York City.

Give today. Be part of the premiere.
