Stuck in Vermont during the pandemic with his partner stranded across the border in Quebec, playwright Terry Allison was inspired to write about the repercussions at the family and small-town level of separation enforced by an invisible line.

Terry talks about language as a fundamental part of our history, about the challenges of writing comedically for a different culture, and about borders as places where people can come together and collaborate to solve problems.

Terry also addresses love as a theme of the play, the role of art in politics, and Kristi Noem's dramatic gesture at the Haskell Free Library and Opera House.
