Michael Mitchell’s STILL FOUNTAINS opens this week at Salvage Vanguard Theater. Tickets here
Highway Home is about four people who circle each other on the terrace of a crumbling family home playing a dangerous game with uncertain rules. Match point becomes the breaking point when barbed wordplay and emotional land mines mix with unwelcome vulnerability and attempted honesty. The fountain hasn’t worked in years and now it belongs to them.
Them – “We don’t use names at the fountain.” A hook-up at a public fountain turns from an expected cat-and-mouse game into unexpected connection as two men uncover layers of each other’s longings. Is it possible to find home at the fountain? Is it possible to lose it?
