Blue Train

Join us for The Winter New Play Intensive! Taking place on December 16th & 17th, The Winter New Play Intensive is a series where audiences can take a peek inside the artistic development process. Theatremakers of many disciplines join forces to collaborate on exciting new projects, and we hope you'll join us at public events where artists will share their work-in-progress. In Sam Marks’ newest play Blue Train, a blended family discovers everything interpersonal is subject to monetary value — from bonds between father and son to second marriages to co-parenting. Jake hopes his father Alan’s beloved beach retreat will pass to him and his children, but Alan’s declining health and his second wife Brenda stand in the way. Caught in a familial tug-of-war, each of them must confront an unsettling truth: can even the things we cherish most be negotiated, traded, or taken away?
