ALL THE ROADS HOME Run March 25-April 23

PIP_All the Roads Home promo
ALL THE ROADS HOME
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
March 25-April 23
Eden Park

Directed by Lee Sunday Evans

From one of the country’s most exciting up-and-coming playwrights comes this poignant world premiere about three generations of women and the legacies they inherit. In the 1950s, teenager Madeleine runs away to New York with hopes of becoming a dancer. Twenty years later, her own headstrong daughter Max, a wannabe cowboy, rebels against the same small-town Massachusetts life that drove her mother away. Fast forward 30 more years, and Max’s daughter Nix travels the country as a musician, chasing a fantasy that may or may not be her own. As the daughters face the ripple effect of their mothers’ choices, they wrestle with their own half-buried dreams and desires in this coming-of-age story. Appropriate for adult and older teenage audiences. This coming-of-age story contains strong adult language, sexual content and other mature themes.
