Synopsis:
4,000 Miles by Amy Herzog is a warm-hearted play that is both funny and moving as it chronicles the sometimes difficult but always loving relationship between Leo and his feisty 91-year old grandmother, Vera.
Feeling alone and alienated after suffering a major loss while on a cross-country bicycle trip, 21-year old Leo shows up at his grandmother’s West Village apartment. While most of the major events of the story occur off stage, the psychological and personal fall-out from those events creates powerful tension infused with intimacy and humor, as over the weeks that follow these unlikely roommates infuriate, bewilder, and eventually come to understand one another.
Roles Available:
Leo – 21 year old male
Vera – feisty 91-year old grandmother
Bec – 21-year old college student; Leo’s ex-girlfriend
Amanda – 19-year-old Chinese-American art student
