Overland!
Written by: Kristen Ritter
Directed by: Kalli Randall
Overland! will have its NYC premiere at The Tank Theater on January 23-25, 2026. Find out more information and book your tickets below.
A one night only fundraiser show will take place in Anchorage, Alaska January 9, 2026 at the Performing Arts Center.
It takes a lot of work and resources to get a cast, crew, and set pieces to New York. If you’d like to give in support of the show you can do so here.
Overland!
The story of a daredevil. Aviator. Adventurer.

The Show
It’s 1910 and the future is now! Blanche Stuart Scott decides she must become one of the first women to drive across the entire country, and nothing—not outlaws, not girl scouts, not even Gertie, her cynical reporter companion for the journey—will prevent her from going down in the history books. But when the women pick up a mysterious third passenger, will they be able to get the Model 38 Overland across the finish line? A historical-ish comedy about the literal lengths women must go to be recognized in their time.

“The great big world was out there and there were things to be done that were a damn sight more important than who trumped Charlie’s ace or who fell into the punch bowl at the country club.”
