The Play
Buen Camino Show
A solo performance · 23 characters · 540 miles
I have a perfect life, a perfect love, and perfect happiness. When I suddenly undergo an unexpected loss, my perfect life ends. Consumed by excruciating pain, I find it impossible to imagine any future worth living.
Until, on an ordinary trip to the grocery store, I hear The Voice. The trouble is, I don't believe in Voices. And yet, when The Voice tells me to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain, I obey despite knowing nothing about this ancient pilgrimage.
With only my pack and my pain, I begin a journey through unrelenting rain and temperatures that rarely get above 50 degrees. With the help of some improbable Spiritual Guides, a little bit of magic, and the Camino itself, I must face my past to have any hope of creating my future.
Alone on stage, I become 23 characters to take the audience on my solitary walk through 540 miles of rain, resentment, and redemption. Buen Camino is a moving story about grief leading to surrender, and ultimately to freedom.
