  3. The Coast Starlight


One morning, a young man boards the Coast Starlight, the long-distance train that runs from Los Angeles to Seattle. He’s got a secret that can land him in terrible trouble, and he has roughly one thousand miles to enlist the help of his fellow travelers – all of whom are reckoning with their own choices in search of a way forward. 

Told through a blend of imagined conversations and internal monologues, the play lets us hear what the characters might say if fear and politeness didn’t get in the way. Funny, moving, and deeply human, The Coast Starlight is a story of reinvention—of finding connection in moments that almost pass us by.
