Synopsis: | North to Maine is the first play ever written about Appalachian Trail and the people who walk it. The story follows five thru-hikers as they travel north. We begin with twenty-three year old Adam, a recent college graduate searching for purpose. He is joined by Kevin, a sagely former marine and Vietnam veteran and Nick AKA "Creature Man" a young and judgmental entrepreneur who has lost his business and maybe some of his mind in the process. This fellowship is completed with the addition of Alice AKA "Juice-Box" one of the few female thru-hikers and Rock-Stabber a former marine/gear tester/jazz singer who has the unfortunate (and annoying) habit of constantly singing, especially late into the evenings when everyone else is trying to go to sleep. North to Maine is the true story of the Appalachian Trail, told by one who has walked every single mile of it. It is a story about the land; it is a story of coming of age, and about the vastness of human potential which will leave an audience, not just with the understanding how one walks the trail, but what it is to walk the trail. | |||||

While initiate members like Mark Henley and David Greenwood look to find their place, both in the fraternity and university life, older members like Nathan Mills and Timothy Foley clash over the direction the Chapter should take. Unknown to everyone, another, more serious scandal, approaches, with a shocking confession that will test the brothers to their very core. | |||||
