Buckle your seat belt for this road-trip comedy by Lauren Yee (King of the Yees, Apple TV’s Pachinko).

Theatre Horizon’s take on Lauren Yee’s hilarious play, as newly engaged Asian immigrants Jenny and Joe meet for the first time driving cross-country to their home in Portland, Oregon. Twenty years later, Joe and their adopted daughter Lucy take the same trip after Lucy’s junior year abroad. Lauren Yee’s intergenerational comedy switches between these two trips, illuminating what it means to be an immigrant, how to find identity and belonging across cultures, and the search for family.
