Trucking on
Claire Carson and Kat Lozano Theater brought Claire Carson and Kat Lozano together, and KDT’s ‘The Last Truck Stop’ is giving them time on stage together MELISSA WHITLER | Dallas Voice Interneditor@dallasvoice.com Premiering at Kitchen Dog Theater this month is Crystal Jackson’s The Last Truck Stop.
Described as a mixture of The Last of Us and Little Miss Sunshine, this apocalyptic tale tells the story of Gladys, the last human long-haul trucker, her niece Zelda, and Uncle Hank, a postal carrier.
The three have been ordered to leave their desert home by the state. As they try to decide whether to leave their home behind, they meet Rainbow, a stranger who brings with her some hope.
While the story depicts a dusty, dreadful world somewhat similar to New York covered in smoke these last few weeks, the characters drive the story toward an optimistic ending.
