LARRY & LUCY

LOG LINE: Reminiscent in tone of classic films like “Midnight Cowboy” and “Whitnail & I,” “Larry & Lucy” is about two emotionally wounded outsiders struggling to find a sense of place in the world. The play touches on the themes of loneliness, togetherness and the continuing opiate crisis in America.

THE STORY: Larry is a worn-out, 60-year-old, semi-famous street muralist who now barely supports his meager, one room Hollywood existence by driving for Uber. Lucy is a fragile Kansas City teen runaway looking to beat a heroin addiction. After a few chance meetings where Larry picks Lucy up near the methadone clinic she frequents, the two embark on a series of misadventures that help them gain insight into their troubled lives, yet also reminds them of the difficulties they’ll face when trying to overcome their afflictions.
