"A small-town newscaster seizes her opportunity for a big break when an unidentified Muslim woman jumps in front of a commuter train on the one-year anniversary of a major terrorist attack," press notes state. "Delving into the haunted life of the train's conductor, his ailing mother and his hapless colleague, Transit explores the power of faith in the face of fear — and of fear in the face of faith."

The creative team of Transit features the design work of CTC’s 2013 Design Fellows: Lauren Mills (scenic design), Janet O'Neill (costume design), Sarah Tunderman (lighting design) and Justin Schmitz (sound design). Bonnie Brady is stage manager and Jessica Kidwell is assistant stage manager.
