The NearAway Project ... because everyone's emotional health matters.
On her eleventh birthday, Finch Love makes a wish to take an apple back to the Garden of Eden to undo the curse that has ruined her world and made her an orphan.
But her wish gets caught on a thought and she is swept away to a strange dark place.
A Wishlar comes to her rescue and informs Finch that she must take a fantastic journey to a
special place called NearAway to find what she seeks.
Equipped with just an old scroll and a few provisions, she is soon joined by a quirky bunch of characters as she takes a bumpy ride filled with choices and decisions that will question her resolve and
bring her face to face with the most powerful of enemies ...
Sing a song, perform a scene, play an instrument, mime or dance to any
