About the show: 

For over a decade, the Brandt family minivan saw many a carpool, many a round of license plate bingo, and many a fast food run. And while this 2006 Toyota Sienna’s days on the road have long run their course, the car still manages to serve as an excellent vehicle… for storytelling.

Join MacGuffin alumni and board member Meredith Brandt as she shares stories from her childhood minivan, told entirely through song parodies inspired by the albums that were forever stuck in the car’s once-high-tech multi-disc CD player.

Joy Ride was originally performed as part of the Emerging Artist Theatre’s Spring 2022 New Works Series in New York. The show runs approximately 1 hour and will be followed by a reception.
