It is 1997, and middle-schooler Jane finds herself trapped in the computer lab playing “The Oregon Trail.” The game comes to life and juxtaposes Jane’s modern struggles with those of her great-great-grandmother who traveled the Oregon Trail in a covered wagon in 1848. This strange and inventive comedy play explores issues of family bonds, depression, and growing up in moving and unexpected ways.

Directed by OSU Theatre's Andrew Beck, the production features a cast of OSU students including Austin Crowell (Clancy), Lydia Dapkus (Then Jane), Reegan DeJong (Jane), Devika Danish Dhamija (Mary Anne), Aaron Kelly Leonard-Graham (Billy), and Teagan Olmstead (The Game).
