Synopsis: | Travel with the TEAM to a Kansas farm where parents vanish, aliens grow in cornfields, New Yorkers fall from the sky, and dead presidents stop by for Christmas dinner. A place where being born again seems like a good idea, and the possibility exists that one day we might really mean it when we say the Pledge of Allegiance. This is a play about losing sight of America and trying to fall back in love with it. With music and soil, a touch of magic from the land of Oz, and a little help from the ghost of Robert F. Kennedy, Particularly in the Heartland tells the story of a family and country shattered and rebuilt with the humour, passion and athleticism that characterizes the TEAM. | |||||
