Regional Premiere!
About: A rousing yet gentle play that grounds epic themes—unabated longing, violence and imperialism, and the bond between mother and son—in the small ways we hurt and love one another and decide where to go on vacation. This is a battle cry for doing the daily work of becoming better in America.
