Synopsis

The play takes place in Clyde’s, a truck stop sandwich shop frequented by truckers making the long journey across Pennsylvania. The kitchen is staffed exclusively by formerly incarcerated individuals looking for their shot at redemption. Even as the shop’s menacing owner, Clyde, tries to keep them under her thumb, the staff members are given purpose and permission to dream by their shared quest to create the perfect sandwich.
