(Not) An Ordinary Bike Ride by Michael Wolfe
A simple bike ride to Stillwater takes an unexpected turn, leaving the rider stranded and searching. The Bike Ride is a solo performance that transforms misadventure into meditation: on the vulnerability of asking for help, the resilience of humor, and the defiant grace of holding two truths at once—that life can be hard, and still beautiful. With warmth, wit, and candor, the piece reminds us that hope is not naïve, but a practice—a way of moving forward even when the path feels uncertain.

On a bitterly cold London evening, schoolteacher Kyra Hollis receives two unexpected visits. One from Edward Sergent, a struggling college student. The other, from his father and Kyra's former lover, Tom Sergeant. Tom is a successful and charismatic restaurateur whose wife has recently died.
