A new musical workshop production, based on a true story. Written by Adrienne Burke-Moran about the year she and her husband Erin, formerly of the rock band Caspian, walked the Appalachian Trail to outrun the lives they had built and discovered they had to choose who they actually wanted to become.
The central conflict of this new musical is deceptively simple: two people who love each other, walking toward different futures at different speeds. But the ground beneath them is the ground beneath all of us — burnout, grief, climate anxiety, the weight of deciding whether to bring a child into a broken world. These are the questions of our moment, and this play doesn’t chase them. It arrived at them the way all honest art does — through lived experience. That difference is visible on the page. It will be visible on stage.
