About This Event
When a loyal White House aide weeps her way home after Nixon’s resignation speech and finds her boy-next-door fiancé in bed with her brother, she runs away from her picture-perfect life and mistakenly hops on a cross-country hippie tour bus that changes the essence of who she thought she was.
Connie begins her journey surrounded by privilege and insulated from difference. When she finds herself on the Emerald Turtle, a hippie bus disguised as a travel tour bus, she is forced to bump up against the very people she has learned to fear and avoid. She discovers their shared humanity and her perspective transforms from fear-based to approaching the world with openness and a spirit of adventure. Through comedy, adventure and a lot of heart, The Emerald Turtle gives us hope, and a path that can bridge the divide we face today through empathy and compassion.
