The Long Christmas Ride Home

In The Long Christmas Ride Home, by Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel, actors manipulate child-size Bunraku puppets in an astonishing memory play about a family driven to the brink of tragedy on the car-ride home from Grandma’s on Christmas Day. Vogel masterfully weaves a tale of a young gay man’s coming-of-age, set against the backdrop of family crisis and spiritual renewal. The production stars Wendy Robie and Troy West as the narrators. Jason Loewith directs.
