A midwestern family drama for adults
When Rob Macleod’s family farm is threatened by construction of a pipeline underneath it, the event will light a fuse, threatening to divide the family he loves. While futilely fighting the changing times, Rob clashes with his daughter, who long ago left home, and his son, who has patiently stayed by Rob's side. The real threat is a Heartland that doesn't include the next generation. 

*This production contains adult language.

Laura Leininger Campbell is a playwright and actor. Her writing, including the plays Eminent Domain, Worms, Terminal, and Buried Phoenix, reflect intersections between real-life struggles and how we conjure hope and determination from those conflicts.
