Can’t Get There From Here

A burlesque/performance trio from NYC touring the deep south become stranded in rural Georgia.  Embarrassed misunderstandings and wide-eyed curiosity forge sudden divisions and fresh alignments with no character – neither local nor New Yorker – left unchanged.  Definitions of identity, and what it means to be from where you’re from, weave through this bumpy road movie.”

Written by Margaret Schnipper
