Death of a Driver

by Will Snider

Michigan Premiere ​

Can two friends from different worlds try to make change before their worlds tear them apart? ​

Sarah is an American engineer, and Kennedy is an East African driver. When Sarah moves to Kenya to build a highway, they strike up a friendship with a shared mission to transform rural Kenya. However, a local election dispute tests their alliance, and they clash over the realities of doing good abroad. ​

Directed by Shelby R. Seeley, “Death of a Driver” by Will Snider features Sarah Stevens and Jalen Wilson-Nelem. The production and design team includes scenic designer Amanda Bates, lighting designer Jeff Alder, costume designer Michaella Victoria, sound designer Kennikki Jones-Jones, properties designer Carla Milarch, accent coach Lynnae Lehfeldt, intimacy coordinator Kat Walsh, and stage manager Briana O’Neal.
