What Happens After?

Playwright : Sarah Flynn

What Happens After? finds siblings Quinn and Ash at the park as they embark on understanding the unraveling of their intertwined lives. 

There are some things in life only your family understands. Like mom’s midlife crisis; a condo, a pet ferret and soy milk? Probably brought on by the looming second divorce. Or maybe it’s the stress of grandma’s Alzheimers. And then there’s everything with Quinn… Leaving sweet Ash to deal with it all on her own.

Join siblings Quinn and Ash in the community park around the corner. They’ll go from laughing to bickering in seconds; and you’ll be brought to tears in all the best and worst ways possible.

Family relationships are a complex contract you “sign” with each loved one you have, knowing you will eventually have to experience the loss and the accompanying grief. What Happens After? sits right in the middle of Quinn and Ash’s big life moments, striking a balance between ridiculous comedy and true touching moments. Together they’ll walk the tightrope between laughter and tears.
