Synopsis

What do you do when your audition in front of the all-school showcase selection committee is in minutes...and your partner is nowhere to be found? If you're Lou and Alex, you're trying to turn your three-person performance of "Rabbit and Frog," an old Kumeyaay story, into a two-person show. But when River, whose grandmother was the one who taught it to them, finally arrives fresh from a family crisis, it becomes clear that there's a new story—to bring the past and present together—they need to tell.
