Stalled

Maggie has to take her beloved car to be junked. En route, she’s visited by the memories of the defining moments of her life. Her car has witnessed love and heartbreak, rejected bad boyfriends, held her in times of great trauma, participated in the creation and destruction of relationships, and maybe, just maybe, it will help her out one last time.

    An eye opening journey of one's life and where she is in her journey. Moving and well done.

    A play about finding oneself stuck, STALLED moves with great dynamism and ease, taking the audience on a well-crafted and poignant journey through the protagonist's life, where we recognize the pain, humor, and tenderness that are all a part of growing up, falling in love, and realizing our life may not be what we had once hoped for. The car becomes its own character, enacted by the actors, which makes STALLED a truly theatrical experience and one that is sure to engage and delight audiences.
