This poignant and hilarious
play takes three teenage girls on a life-changing road trip. While
Carrie and Molly would never hang out together at high school, the two
form a fragile bond during their job at a local farm stand. Molly
convinces Carrie to join her on an unexpected road trip, which deepens
their connection. Sam, Carrie's eleven-year-old sister, joins them and
creates the bridge the older girls need to move forward. All three girls
are keeping secrets, which unfold over the course of their adventure.
Throughout the play, Carrie recalls the life of Anne Frank, the subject
of a high-school composition. Carrie wonders if everybody isn't living
in hiding in their own secret annex. The girls' true selves begin to
emerge; their "ride" is both a physical and emotional
one.
