    Club Passage - Audio Drama

    Set in an airport lounge in Jamaica, Club Passage unfolds in a liminal space where travelers—strangers at first—grapple with weather delays, personal revelations, and deeper cultural tensions. As Laura Stern frantically searches for a misplaced receipt, her anxiety mirrors the brewing storm back home in Atlanta. Reunited with her friend Jessica, the two mothers share concerns over their families, shifting political climates, and the desire for safety in an uncertain world. In the lounge, they meet a vibrant mix of characters: an upbeat Jamaican attendant named Cedella, a sophisticated couple from Toronto, and a cheerful retiree duo from Florida. Through casual yet loaded conversations—ranging from fertility and identity to immigration, healthcare, and transgender rights—the play reveals the layered fears and hopes of people navigating a changing world. Even the rowdy “bros” offer a surprisingly touching moment of grief and tribute. In the end, as the storm still looms and flights resume, Club Passage becomes more than just a travel hub—it’s a fleeting microcosm of modern life, where privilege, politics, and personal truths collide just long enough to leave an impression.
