HERE WE GO AGAIN

Natalie Naudus, as Logan, and Jeremy Carlisle Parker, as Rosemary, serve up complementary energy with alternating performances of two former best friends who unite to fulfill their beloved former English teacher Joe's dying wish. Parker's performance from Rosemary's perspective vibrates with her tightly wound anxiety as Joe's request for a summer road trip from Washington to Maine becomes a reality. Naudus portrays Logan as outwardly cool and glib, revealing the depths of her complex thoughts for listeners' ears only. Both narrators enrich the story, pairing drama and humor as the journey takes unexpected turns. The impact of these moments hits harder as the women struggle with their evolving feelings for each other and the poignant reality of the "death trip" as Joe's health declines with every passing mile.
