November 18th: Danger Road

Written by Margi Herwald Zitelli
Directed by Cat R. Kenney

Danger Road tells the story of Erica and Hunter, who were inseparable in high school, but as adults, lead completely separate lives. Hers is a fairly “normal” existence, while he has become a world famous star. When news linking back to their teen years reaches them, it sparks memories both good and bad and makes them reevaluate the adults they have become. While their actual grown-up lives may not mirror what they had planned or expected as teens, Erica and Hunter come to understand the crucial impact they had upon each other. Sometimes we don’t realize the most important adventures of lives until years after we’ve lived through them.

The play jumps back and forth in time between Erica and Hunter’s separate adult worlds and shared teen world. They are joined by The Gang, an ensemble of actors who play multiple roles of the adults who impact Erica and Hunter now and the teen friends (and frenemies) who affected them then.

Teenage Hunter vows to take Erica on “like, a million adventures,” including the most perilous of all, driving Danger Road. As adults, they come to understand friendship is its own adventure.
