Bike America
by Mike Lew
directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel

Featuring Vandit Bhatt, Jessica DiGiovanni, Melanie Nicholls-King, David Shih, Marilyn Torres, Tom White, and Landon G. Woodson

Set by Andrew Boyce, costumes by Melissa Schlachtmeyer, lights by Matthew Richards, and sound design by Jill BC Du Boff.

Winner of the Kendeda Grad Playwriting Competition!

Bike America is a wildly theatrical picaresque journey that crams the entire continent onto one stage. The play unfolds as a cross-country bike trip from Boston to California, with stops in big cities and small towns along the way.   Our feckless heroine Penny is looking to bring more meaning into her life, to find a lifestyle that suits her and a town that feels like a home... so she drops her clingy boyfriend in Beantown and takes off for Santa Barbara! Along the way she befriends a colorful crew of bikers: Ryan, the health nut biking instructor; Tim Billy, the innocent wanderer; Annabel and Rorie, the badass activists seeking to get gay-married in every state they hit on the trip; and the mysterious Man with the Van who carries their stuff.

BIKE AMERICA is a wildly picturesque journey that crams the 48 contiguous states onto one stage. The play unfolds as a cross-country bike trip from Boston to Santa Barbara, with stops in big cities and small towns along the way. Our feckless heroine Penny is looking to bring more meaning into her life, so she drops her clingy boyfriend and takes off for the Pacific. Along the way, she befriends a colorful crew of bikers in this multi-state, multi-generational, Blue and Red mash-up. BKE AMERICA was originally produced at the Alliance Theater.

This weekend Rehana and I will be doing a little husband-wife collabo by shooting a couple episodes of a new web series we are co-creating. To give you a sense of our relative skill sets, she said "We should work on a shot list" and I said, "Yes, what kind of drinks?"
