A musical comedy-fantasy, Vanishing Point brings these three strong women together on a road trip through time and space, as they recall their past and explore their future. They step in and out of one another’s lives to tell three unique stories and illustrate how everyone is ultimately connected.
Act One biographically theatricalizes each woman’s personal struggle through the chain of historical events that forces their subsequent disappearances: the moment of inception of their big dream, their thrilling rise to fame, their disillusioning loss of agency in the in the drive toward success, their despair over their exposure in the press, and their complete feeling of isolation from everyone around them.
Act Two delves into a performative fantasy of what possibly could ensue when three strong-willed and fascinating women are thrown together in a void of time and space. They methodically search for a way back to their lives, but by making the same mistakes, history repeats itself and they end up back where they started. It is only when they play each other’s parts and teach each other that it is healthy and fun to break the rules can they reclaim their individual agency. With the newly found support system and broadened outlook, they find their way back, control the chaos that once shattered their lives, and rewrite history.
