Lewiston, by Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale, A Bright New Boise) focuses on modern-day descendants of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, in this 90 minute nod to middle America, where distant descendants of the famed explorers migrate to the town named in honor of their ancestors.


Set at a firework stand off a rural Idaho highway, this deeply moving piece of  theatre explores the emotional frontiers of a family struggling to make a home in the vastness of the American landscape.
In a scene played out all over America, farmland held for generations is being swallowed up by developers. Against this backdrop, Alice, who has sold most of her land, and her roommate Connor, sit by their bedraggled roadside stand selling cheap fireworks, having been promised a condo in the new development and a secure future.  Enter Marnie, Alice's long lost granddaughter she hasn't seen in 15 years, who wants to buy the land to save her family's legacy. With deeply held secrets, uncertain pasts, and hopeful futures, Samuel D. Hunter's play is poetically heightened by a keen sense of the beautifully drawn characters’ inner lives and their resigned (at least in Alice’s and Connor’s cases) places in the world.

"Subtle, sly humor infuses the piece, which depicts its emotionally struggling characters with tenderness and compassion"
-Hollywood Reporter
