The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour
February 16, 2012
Colby and Bev have a long-standing pact: graduate,

start college in the fall.
But the show must go on and The Disenchantments
weave through the Pacific Northwest, playing
in small towns and dingy venues, while roadie-
Colby struggles to deal with Bev’s already-growing
distance and the most important question of all:
