Tina Howe is one of the smartest playwrights we have, but does she really believe she can outsmart death?
That seems to be the case in 'Approaching Zanzibar. In this determinedly uplifting comedy, an American nuclear family confronts its mortality, then bounces back at once with renewed hope. 

An American nuclear family confronts life, death, and everything in-between on a cross-country vacation to see the country and visit a dying relative. 
Tina Howe's absurd and uplifting comedy shows us how the average American family journey's through metaphors for morality and the limits of human creativity. 
Each member of the Blossom family learn to develop from their fears and obstacles in life to a renewed sense of hope.

The cast features:  Mike Ware (Wally), Jennifer Skarzinski (Charlotte), Christian Lalov (Turner), Zoe Gallagher (Pony), Mark Sanders (Randy/Scotty), Carol Evans (Olivia), Bridget Mullins (Joy/Dahlia), Suzanne Young (Palace/Sybil), and Miranda Kaplan (Fletcher/Amy)
