DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

Golden Arches explores grief, faith, and the strange places we turn for meaning. When a military widow fears her husband’s funeral may be targeted by a radical protest group posing as a church, she descends into religious obsession, haunted by a fast-food messiah and memories that won’t release their grip. In a world where sanctity and absurdity blur, this darkly comedic play asks how we make sense of loss—and what happens when salvation is served with a side of fries.
