Redbud Productions kicks off its 16th year with the Ann Arbor premiere of this critically lauded comedy/drama. The Off-Broadway smash hit 4000 Miles, winner of the 2012 Obie Award for Best New Play and the New York Times Award for Outstanding Playwright, was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and named The Best Play of the Year by Time Magazine.
“5 Stars…One of the best, bravest plays of the season. See it, no matter how far you must travel” – Time Out, New York “Funny, moving, altogether wonderful…”- The New York Times.
After suffering a major loss during a bike trip from Seattle to New York, 21 year-old Leo (Liam Weeks) drops in unexpectedly at 3 am to the tiny West Village apartment of his feisty 91 year-old Jewish grandmother (Liz Greaves-Hoxsie).
What begins as an overnight visit turns into weeks as these unlikely roommates infuriate, bewilder, and carefully learn how to love and care for each other.
Redbud’s talented cast includes Maddie Maxey as Leo’s new romance and Dana Denha as his determined girlfriend who arrives to announce their break up.
“Plays as truthful and touching and fine as Amy Herzog’s 4000 Miles come along once or maybe twice a season, if we’re lucky.” – The New York Times.

Redbud Productions celebrates its 15th year with this acclaimed play by award-winning playwright and Pulitzer Prize nominee Amy Herzog. The Great God Panwill be performed at Kerrytown following a critically-lauded world premiere at New York City’s Playwrights Horizons Theater. “A haunting new play…not something I’ll soon forget” The New York Times “Whatever the ideal [play] is, it has to look a lot like The Great God Pan” The New York Observer
Jamie (Dave Barker)’s life in Brooklyn seems just fine. He has a beautiful girlfriend (Katie Whitney), a budding journalism career, and parents (Mary Franceschi, Tim Grimes) who live just far enough away.
But, when a childhood acquaintance (Siamak Davarani) visits him with unsettling news, Jamie’s life is thrown in a tailspin, and he finds it difficult to decipher what is real and what is imagined.
Janet Rich plays a former babysitter whose fading recollections may provide a clue to the past and Sofia Fall is a young girl with a serious ailment in this mysterious and deeply compassionate play – the intimate tale of the tricks of one’s memory and of what is lost and won when a hidden truth is unloosed into the world.
“Haunting, deeply affecting, and unfailingly honest. Amy Herzog is one of the bright theatrical lights of her generation!” – The New York Times
