About the production courtesy Salina South Theatre
Don Browning, a middle-aged writer, returns home with plans to take his deceased father’s ashes back to the family home, as requested. After discovering that the family home has been torn down and replaced with a grocery store, he begins a journey across Iowa searching for a proper resting place for his father. This “father-and-son” road trip shifts from the present to Don’s memories of all the past family road trips which were full of memories—good and bad.
