Interstate is a contemporary, slightly musical, slightly absurd, somewhat satirical fairy tale that explores the ability for people and relationships within a family to change.
Spurred into action by a suicide attempt, Red packs her adult children into her rusted convertible and heads across the country on a pseudo-nostalgic trip to the Grand Canyon (something she regrets not having done when they were young). Between visits to ex-boyfriends, stops at local attractions and family guessing games, accusations are leveled, secrets are revealed and seeds of hope discovered.
A play about what it means to be a family, what it means to be a woman and what it means to be an American, Interstate is a funny, dark and compassionate look at a family trying to figure out how to hold onto one another while setting themselves free.
