A lot can happen on a ride through Eastern North Carolina in the Spring!
This encore production by playwright Ray Kennedy explores friendship, love and hope. Sometimes funny and sometimes poignant, the play introduces you to characters who, with their humor and nostalgia, paint a beautiful portrait of community, family, and courage in the face of adversity.
When Louie, the matriarch of her Southern family, finds herself having to travel 45 miles each way for her almost daily cancer treatments, her friends and family decide to go along for the ride, filling the time with memories, laughter, and conversations about the importance of Tupperware.
“A Ride Through the Country” is based on true events.
