Marin Theatre Company presents 2013 Sky Cooper New American Play Prize winner, The Way West, Mona Mansour's poignantly hilarious look at one family of women as they band together in the aftermath of the great recession, calling on the pioneer spirit that has defined the American dream to get them through, for better or worse. This play asks whether optimism is what has made our country great or has caused its biggest problems, and explores with music how one family wrestles with the question of American optimism vs American reality.
Before you come to the play, join Director of New Play Development, Margot Melcon and key members of the artistic team as they talk about the process of realizing this powerful play from design to rehearsal.
