May The Road Rise Up

On the eve of his grandfather’s birthday, Michael Murphy steps off the bus into his hometown with only the clothes on his back and his guitar. A happy reunion with family and friends threatens to collapse under the weight of his long-buried guilt and the plague of the past on his family.

Ensemble member Shannon O’Neill’s newest play asks if a community can rebuild from unspeakable tragedy, or does running away create its own monsters?
