Ocean in a Teacup Presented by the CreateTheater New Works Festival

Ocean in a Teacup is a spiritual quest musical based on a true story. World War Two may be over, but American Red Cross medic Ray Hauserman can’t bring himself to return home from India. The shame of having broken his pacifist vow “never to kill” draws him into the turbulent world of a charismatic Indian doctor, and spiritual teacher.  This inspiring man offers Ray a unique path to redemption. To follow that path, Ray will have to give up everything he knows, including the woman he loves.

Joel Krantz (book/music/lyrics): Ocean in a Teacup is Joel’s first musical.  As the leader and founder of “The JK Band” he has performed at over 2800 private parties and events in the NYC area.  Always a prolific songwriter pursuing a singer/songwriter career, he turned his musical aspirations toward theater and “Ocean in a Teacup”. This show is personal for him, since he got the story and the mission to tell it, directly from the source, Ray Hauserman, who became his mentor when he returned to the USA after spending 25 years in India.
