Developed in the PURE Lab, Coyote Picnic is a dark comedy about the remarkable things family members will do for, and to, each other, under the wrong circumstances. It’s the story of a young girl in Phoenix, her estranged brother, their dead father, and a Mormon Hospice worker. Playwright Patrick Sharbaugh’s tale also turns on a broken down 1961 Bentley with a trunk full of cockroaches, a Baptist boarding school in Devil's Elbow, Missouri, love, marriage, rampant infidelity, crystal meth, The Catcher in the Rye, Texas Hold’em, baby tattoos, Burmese Star Tortoises, rohypnol, butterfly swarms, and 12 dead Mexican immigrants. And hungry coyotes, of course.
