Brief Summary:
THE ROAD AHEAD was inspired by Rod Serling’s classic television series “The Twilight Zone.” A married couple on a nighttime journey is transported by a GPS gone amok to a mysterious destination in place and time. They are welcomed by a guide, who presents three vignettes, performed by her and her assistants. The vignettes, like traditional fables, portray a moral and a lesson for living life with courage while attempting to right a wrong in the world. And each contains hope for a better life.
