  3. Destination Moon


Two people in two little rooms. A young woman, a bed, an unseen voice, music in the night, hope out of darkness. When we meet Truly in her room at the end of the hall, she is on her way to recovery, having spent years in and out of hospitals combating serious illness since she was a child. She’ll be going home soon, with every likelihood of a “normal” life. And home might as well be the moon. Truly deals with her fears by writing bad songs, reading odd old books and communing with Doc Miller, an unseen radio voice in the night.

Joseph Reed Hayes

playwright
Joseph Reed Hayes, award-winning playwright, producer, director, poster designer, “theater maker” … obviously has trouble delegating jobs to other people. His theater career began as a sound and lighting tech when he was 14 (a looooong time ago), but he didn’t create his first script and first production until 2002. This presentation marks 65 productions and readings of his work from coast to coast and in four countries. He most recently won Best Individual Performance and Best Director awards for his play Mockingbird News at the 2022 Orlando Fringe; and two Best Leading Actor awards in the Orlando Sentinel Best of Theater 2022 for If I Had My Way.
