Brody is the coolest guy in Langstown—and he seems to have everything figured out. He is poised to take over the town’s most popular party supply store from his mother, surrounded by the life and friends he has always known. So when Brody suddenly leaves a note announcing that he is leaving town forever, his best friends, Angie and Doug, are left with more questions than answers. Determined to find him, Angie and Doug hit the road, blasting music and encountering an unpredictable assortment of characters along the way. What begins as a search for their missing friend becomes a madcap journey of friendship, accepting change, and the question of what happens when the person everyone thinks they know decides to disappear. Along the way, the play embraces themes of chosen family, self-discovery, and LGBTQ+ inclusion.
