November 14 - December 8, 2024
Down an old city street, inside a small map store, a pile of chairs begins to form. Two best friends, Jody and Carl, manage the ever-growing mountain of chairs while taking care of each other and navigating the dark reality that looms in the outside world- a reality Carl faces in their neighborhood everyday and one Jody is afraid to see. A funny and heartwarming story of friendship, love, and survival during one of the world’s hardest moments, Lonely Planet continues to show us that “Friendship, not technology, is the only thing capable of showing us the enormity of the world”
-Steven Dietz, playwright.
“One day I saw a chair here. I had no idea where it had come from. I looked at it. I sat in it. A Chair. Nothing else.” - Jody
“At some imperceptible moment everyone became absolutely shuffle-your-feet, stare-out-the-window boring. I try okay? I do my part. I strike things up.” - Carl
