All her life, Ellie gazed longingly at that tantalizing twinkle of orange in the sky. Reaching it was her life's ambition.
Now she’s here, however, the base is small, the air is stale, communications went dead, and… does anyone else hear that sound?
Red Rover examines
space travel, reckoning with
a wish come true,
and the age old
question...
"Is anyone out there?"
Playwriting is social advocacy.
It is a position of hefty
responsibility and opportunity.
It's my joy and duty as a playwright to be a humble listener,
a ruthless optimist, and
a steadfast advocate for change.
