Reason 1: Take A Seat, Any Seat
Right when you walk in the theater, there’s no proscenium, no curtain, in fact the actors welcome you right into the space. Feel free to take a seat in the bar with them, or sit on the outside of the action.
Reason 2: Music To My Ears
Even Longer and Farther Away follows a brother and sister hiking the Appalachian Trail to honor their father. Being among the mountains in Appalachia, we get to hear some of the lovely melodies and songs of those who’ve hiked and come from the trail.
Reason 3: Family Matters
It isn’t always easy to get along with family, and Even Longer and Farther Away examines the trials and tribulations of this quite closely. Those that are connected to us by blood stay a part of us, whether we want them to or not.
