The Young Performers Workshop Present: Roundabout Inn

The Roundabout Inn, sketches the fable of simple people and their rural imprisonment in south east Pennsylvania. In his youth, Keegan Dodge, gave up dreams of accomplishing big things to help his widowed step-mother, whose ambitions are bound by the four walls of the "Roundabout Inn Bed & Breakfast" from which they derive a meager life, transfers his hopes and dreams to his younger brother. Benson, the younger brother, is interested in acting and for years has helped his older brother scrimp and save so he might escape the cycle of drudgery that has haunted his brother's life, and move to New York to pursue a career on the stage. When the time comes for Benson to go, his mother Rita, who knows nothing of the play or saved money to pay for Benson's relocation to New York, demands that he stay at the "Roundabout Inn" and contribute the money to better the family business. After the roundabout way it all comes down, they all return to the place they originally started and have merely veered off their paths for a brief moment.
