Playwrights’ Arena presents I GO SOMEWHERE ELSE by Inda Craig-Galván, directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE is about one daughter’s fractured memory of her troubled mother, as seen through three different perspectives. When 70s film prom queen Carrie is your role model, your adolescence must really suck. Will Lanny grow into a well-adjusted adult who can forgive her mother’s many faults? Or will she burn the whole town to the ground with telekinetic powers? A girl can dream, can’t she? It is play full of good music, bad memories, and the hope for a better Scott Baio.

With Kevin Cougal, Kita Grayson, Donna Simone Johnson, Inger Tudor, and Cheri Lynne VandenHeuvel.

Previews begin August 23, with an opening set for Saturday, August 25, 2018. Regular performances are Saturdays 8 PM, Sundays 4 PM and Mondays 8 PM.
