The Oregon Trail

Written By Bekah Brunstetter

Directed by Amber Jackson

WORLD PREMIERE A tale of two young women, both named Jane. One is an awkward middle schooler with burgeoning body odor, a crush on a jerk who likes her sister, and an epic aptitude at The Oregon Trail. The other is actually in the game, living through the hardships of trail life with her family, totally unaware of her capricious fate as a character in a classic video game. But this game has an agenda of its own, maneuvering both Janes on a painful path towards self recognition. Looking at the impact of memory and the legacy of sadness across generations, THE OREGON TRAIL asks the age old question do you want to ford the river?
