What an unapologetic play, with tension & heart layered on more with every shift. This play is also full of stunning lines that floored me with their poetic introspection. This play mostly takes place in a car, but the world (unfortunately not far off from our current one) that Saltwick has created for these mindful, playful, & determined characters stretches far beyond those doors & windows. Maggie & Lizzie really aren't asking for much: simply love & care. They could be any of us.

Sarah Saltwick's grounded, road trip drama of two best friends opens up into a magical space that envisions the road ahead. Sarah navigates questions of reproductive freedom, state oppression and the possibilities of youth with humor and compassion.

Sarah Saltwick's beautiful play The Caldera is timely and infinitely produceable. Navigating questions about abortion, autonomy, friendship and love the play never feels heavy-handed or simplistic. These are complex characters navigating complex questions with humor and courage. Sarah's slow-burn into theatrical magic lets the play stay grounded in reality while reaching into the mythic.
