Kevin and Amy find themselves at a crossroads as their respective existential life crises hit full swing. Dealing with unexpected changes in their careers, they decide to hit the road and explore Van Life at the urging of their adult daughter. Along the way, they encounter eccentric Van Life guru “Lone Wolf” and his sidekick, Rainbow, who cause the couple to question their concepts of freedom, responsibility and what it means to grow as a couple. What are your best options when you find yourself stuck in the desert with no toilet paper? (or a bathroom for that matter). What are the long-term effects of accidentally ingesting peyote? Are Funyuns, Swedish Fish and Slim-Jims a fatal combination? These and other important questions are addressed in this romantic comedy that explores what happens when social media fantasies and the reality of life and relationships collide. Van Life is an original play written and directed by Rick Martin. Actors will be reading sides from the script and they should come ready to move!
