Buen Camino at Theatre One

Susan has a perfect life, a perfect love, and perfect happiness. When she suddenly undergoes an unexpected loss, her perfect life ends. Consumed by excruciating pain, she finds it nearly impossible to imagine any future worth living. 

Until, on an ordinary drive to the grocery store, she hears The Voice. The trouble is, Susan doesn’t believe in Voices. And yet, when The Voice tells her to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain, she obeys despite knowing absolutely nothing about this ancient pilgrimage. 

With only her pack and her pain, Susan begins a far-flung journey through 540 miles of unrelenting rain and temperatures that rarely get above 50 degrees. With the help of some improbable Spiritual Guides and the Camino itself, will Susan learn to be free of the baggage blinding her from finding her true purpose in life? Or will the rain and the grind only increase her despair? 

A solo show told through 27 captivating characters and dynamic multimedia, Buen Camino is a walk through 540 miles of rain, resentment, and redemption, exploring what it takes to find freedom.
