Frigid Festival Previews

End of the Trail

Produced by EXIT Theatre

Author: Sean Owens and Kenny Shults

The show is about best friends, more than anything else, and how important such a relationship can be. It's also about how hard life can be, how ludicrous each of us can be as we struggle through it, and how our warped perceptions of life, and everything in it, often contribute to, or perhaps are responsible for, our collective and respective madness.

Many of us wonder what's next. These times feel so new and uncharted. We are all on the brink of an exciting and perhaps daunting new era. Our desire to know what's on the other side, often paired with our penchant for fear of the unknown, can generate a lot of big questions with no answers. It's how we embrace the questions and the unfamiliar that make us human, frail and small. But it's this understanding that makes us powerful and big — this remembering that we are all a little bit crazy that makes seeing our show worth while.

We chose to present this show to remind ourselves and everyone else that life is a mystery and that the very best we can hope to do is make some meaningful connections and try our very best to enjoy moments of this life.
