Show Summary

This 10 - cast member show tells the story of a 16-year-old girl named Isabel who runs away from home and finds herself trapped on a magical train full of people who won't stop running - aka “The Runaway Train.” Throughout the 2 - hour jazz / folk dramedy, we learn that Isabel is the only person on board who remembers her own name. It is up to her to stop the train and save the other passengers (including a Porter, several Choir Members, and a mysterious Writer who may or may not be dead). However, the relationships between Isabel, the passengers and the evil Conductor turn out to be much more complicated than she originally thought. She soon discovers that in order to get off the train, she will have to take a hard look in the mirror and lean on her family to process an unaddressed history of trauma.  

Learn to discuss sexual maltreatment, invest in your own mental health, and support #metoo survivors by bringing this show to life in your local theater.
