My mother tells the first story in Next Exit. After the campfire the screen changes to an empty road. A suitcase drops from the top of the frame and opens up to reveal the odd assortment of the things I packed in my suitcase for a three day trip to my father's second wedding. Iwas just thirteen, but my personality was clearly defined.
Story icons are stacked up in the middle of the highway. A click on the suitcase spreads them out. These are the story icons that were packed in the attic. Icons are selected, clicked and dragged onto the highway. The order they appear is the order that they will play during the performance. Atchley uses a wireless mouse on stage.
