Split between California and New York City, Two Thousand Miles tells the story of illness, strength, and life-altering experiences through events that reunites a group of friends and family. Through their collective journeys, they show us how love can transcend illness and personal strife through acceptance and the bonds of friendship.

"I joined SSP in May of 2012 as an actor, but Brian gave me the opportunity to explore all the other parts of theatre: stage management, directing, administration," Two Thousand Miles conceiver Alyssa Williams writes. "That was the spark to start creating my own work. I am thrilled and honored to bring my first work back home."

Two Thousand Miles premiered at the Hudson Guild Theatre in October of 2018 as a part of NY Summerfest through the New York Theatre Festival. Most recently, the show has performed various concert readings at Feinstein's/54 Below and The Green Room 42 that featured Broadway members of On Your Feet!, In The Heights, and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical in the lead roles.
