This show contains adult language and themes.

From the Director, Missi Smith
Audiences will enjoy Bike America regardless of whether they've ever been on a bike, or on a bike trip across the USA. The play tells the story of Penny, a Millennial, a curious seeker whose character represents a longing many of us can relate to. The theme of self-discovery is ubiquitous, no matter what generation you claim, and while Bike America is an outrageous comedy, it also presents thought-provoking content about love, acceptance, individuality, and the quest for identity. We've warned you that the language and themes are adult, but f-bombs aside, this play brings a contemporary, real-life story to our stage with relatable, quirky, and lovable characters who try to help Penny along her journey. You'll enjoy seeing the cast bring them to life onstage. And then there's the bikes! What fun it has been to create the biking world onstage. 4000 miles and you never have to leave your seat. You don't want to miss that.

Talking biking with your staff at Artfest I shared my limerick and was encouraged to send it into you:

Cyclists need road space too
Just move over, it's easy to do
If you let off the gas
and go wide when you pass,
There's a place in heaven for you.

optional extension:
But if you act like an ass
and come close when you pass,
There's a place in HELL for you.
