How We Get Where We’re Going  (a play about zombies) 
by Isabel Lee Roden  | they/them

Synopsis: Three siblings embark on a cross-country road trip to scatter their estranged father's ashes.

Told out of linear time, how we get where we're going explores the stories we tell ourselves about family history, American identity, and what makes the human experience worth living.
