Where America Runs

by Anjali Ramakrishnan

[10-15 MINUTES] A play that is not sponsored but greatly appreciate of Dunkin Donuts, where 16 year old Lia meets with parental figures in her life.

Where America Runs

    Ramakrishnan's writing has a way of drawing an audience member/reader in like no other.
    This play is a beautiful story of what familial love truly means. I fell in love with each character, with their own unique quirks and the way they express their love.
    Exquisite.

    This short feel-good play is very funny, while also providing some small twists and turns on our expectations of family and love. The characters are very memorable, and exciting to watch grow over the course of the show.

    This piece beautifully deconstructs and reconstructs the definition of family and who gets to define it as such. The love these characters have for one another is contagious and vivid. This piece will leave you hungry for more...and a Dunkin donut.
