What do you do when your sister is a convict, your momma can't kick her Bingo habit and your husband is still missing from your Honeymoon sky-diving trip two years ago? Lock yourself in your trailer, of course. This hilarious farce is by up-and-coming playwright Amy Lanasa, winner of the Best Short Play award at the 2001 Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival.

Amy Lanasa is a native Texan who received her MFA in Professional Writing from Florida State University’s School of Film. While at Florida State, she also received an MA in Theatre Studies with an emphasis in Playwriting. Amy’s plays include Drive-in America, which was performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in 2001 as part of the American College Theatre Festival. Her plays have been performed in Florida, Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, California, New Mexico, and New York. Her films include Perhaps a Polka, which she also directed, and Inner Sight, which has played at film festivals across the country.
