The play tackled polarization without taking sides — I couldn’t tell you the politics of the playwright or cast, which allowed us to connect with the story and draw our own moral conclusions.
A wonderful, well-thought-out comedy that showcased societal issues and their impact within a family. 10/10 would recommend to go see!
Excellent and timely play! Very well-written and performed! I was so glad to see something so refreshing finally!

Like many Americans, the Gebauers were barely on speaking terms in 2016. A long-haul trucker and Trump supporter from rural Pennsylvania, Jim steered clear of his progressive wife Rosalie, a grade-school teacher from Philadelphia, until election day put them and their two children on a collision course that ended in separation. Five years and one pandemic later, the family comes together on Thanksgiving in an even more polarized atmosphere. Will they navigate the minefield of issues dividing America in the fall of 2021, or will they finalize their divorce?
