"Quonset huts—cheap, prefabricated, semi-circular steel structures—are a common sight in agricultural communities in Nebraska or Kansas. And like all empty buildings, they are filled with limitless possibilities; a brother and sister might sneak beers during a school vacation, or a teen might come face to face with a crush at her first party.In our bastion of East Coast intellectualism, we rarely interact with stories or souls from the flyover states. This pair of one-act plays, inspired by the authors’ experiences growing up on farms in the Midwest, will remind us of the humanity of those who may not share our experiences, our opinions, or our outlook."
