Synopsis

THE STORY: During the Cuban Missile Crisis, two average American families build a slapdash bomb shelter on their shared property line.

With nuclear warfare looming, they wonder: Is it the end?

The end of baseball…and table manners…and macramé?

But as they fret about the fall of civilization, they start to worry that something more personal is at stake.

A slyly hilarious, compassionate look at anxiety in America, WE’RE GONNA BE OKAY is about finding the courage to face who we are—and who we want to be.

Press Reviews

"[WE’RE GONNA BE OKAY] finds comedy in [an] age of fear…Kreimendahl’s play wrestles with the fears we all have about the larger powers in charge but beyond our control, while offering characters who seek to find the gentle, delightful and dynamic experiences of what makes life momentous and worth living—even amid that fear and loss."
