A young man from an orphanage is adopted by a farmer but runs away to the big city only to discover all this is only a metaphor. Maybe life is really an elaborate job interview to determine if we even qualify for our own existence. Adapted from Pulitzer Prize-winner Thornton Wilder’s unfinished script, this play was part of Alley All New Festival in 2022.
