Description

A horrendous storm looms over a rundown truck stop diner in Grand Island, Nebraska, bringing together ten people who start to reveal damaging secrets as the night goes on. This critically-acclaimed stage play features roles for 7 women and 3 men. The Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance awarded the world premiere with two awards: Best Original Script and Best Original Production. The play received a New York premiere at the Creative Place Theatre.
