DEPARTURES is the newest collaboration from the writers, actors and directors of Open at the Top. Set in an airport terminal, DEPARTURES is a play about the endings, and beginnings, of twelve travelers. From a bride in her wedding dress with an extraordinary case of cold feet to a grandfather determined to bring his young grandson home from Iraq, these characters share their dreams, their fears and their secrets with each other in the moments before each takes the most defining journey of their life. By turns wry and moving, hopeful and nostalgic, DEPARTURES blends the voices of an eclectic group of writers into a tapestry of lives at their most daring moment–the moment of leaping into thin air, and letting faith give you wings.
