The Dadshuttle and Down the Shore
THE STORIES: Down the Shore. Lucy's renamed herself "Luke" and, at sixteen years old, wants out of nowhere, Podunk, suburban America. She's hiding out from yet another of her mother's weddings with her soulmate, a statue of St. Bernadette of Lourdes, and she is waiting for Phippsy to finish delivering pizzas so they can escape to the Jersey Shore forever. But then M.J. shows up claiming to be her older brother. Together they travel back to a place of real—or imagined—memory, before the world fell apart. (3 men, 1 woman.)
The Dadshuttle. Junior lives in the big city, works in a club and likes performance art. Senior lives in the suburbs, puts roofs on buildings and attends family picnics on battlefields. After a holiday meal, father drives son to the train station. On this drive, they navigate not only the roads, but each other as Junior delivers news that turns a familiar journey into an unrecognizable one to them both. (2 men.)
