"In 2.5 Minute Ride, Author Lisa Kron sends us on a roller coaster ride through the Kron family album. Rising and falling between high hilarity and deep disquiet. Her writing demonstrates with disarming simplicity that humor and horror can share the same human moment.

The play switches back and forth between Kron's journey to Auschwitz with her septuagenarian father, a Holocaust survivor; her Michigan family's annual pilgrimage to a Sandusky, Ohio, amusement park; and her brother's marriage to his Internet bride. By moving seamlessly between these three diverse recountings, Kron creates a complex and at times startling meditation on how human beings make sense of tragedy, grief, and everyday life."
