Upcoming World Premiere - Roundabout Theatre Company
Synopsis
A crowded car, 100 miles, three newly orphaned siblings, a chatty stranger, and a whopper of a family secret make for an extraordinarily uncomfortable road trip in AMY AND THE ORPHANS. When their 85-year-old father dies, sparring siblings Maggie and Jake must face a question: How to break the bad news to their sister Amy, who has Down's Syndrome and has lived in a state home for years? Along the way, the pair finds out just how much they don't know about their family or each other. It seems only Amy knows who she really is.
