Miles and Isaac, meet at 11 years old at theater camp and forge a bond that spans 25 years of friendship. Told through non-linear scenes, the play explores the magic of creativity, the power of nostalgia, and how the dreams we chase--or let go of--can shape a lifetime.

The year is 1986, and Halley’s Comet is about to pass over the town of Huntersville. The town has pulled out all the stops for this spectacular wonder. As the town prepares, a young girl spends her night reuniting her parents, a teen scrambles to keep friendships intact, and an elderly couple gets lost in the past. Through the mysticism of the comet, the park, and the night itself, moments from the past meet the present and guide the town towards the future, as they embark on a night that is truly once in a lifetime.
