Director Joanie Schultz and actor Dina Thomas reunite for 2.5 Minute Ride, Studio Theatre's first production by prolific playwright and two-time Tony Award winner Lisa Kron, streaming at studiotheatre.org from April 30 - May 23, 2021.
2.5 Minute Ride is a portrait of Lisa's father captured through two very different father-daughter trips: the family's annual pilgrimage to Ohio's Cedar Point amusement park, roller coaster capital of the world, and a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Auschwitz, where his parents were killed. Lisa connects these two disparate, formative parts of her father's life story with anecdotes, revelations, and irreverent asides in this travelogue through thrill and loss. The autobiographical play is the first in a trio of solo performances that will cap Studio's 2020-2021 all-digital season.
