Initial Synopsis of A Natural Progression of Our Prolonged Stay, to be presented by Sour Mash Productions in the DCA Theater Incubator Series 
Fifteen year-old Hannah Clark’s world has just been pulled out from under her. When her parents, Natalie and Vince, are detained by the FBI, Hannah discovers that, beneath the veneer of her typical suburban life, her parents are really Russian spies. Making Hannah’s discovery all the more astonishing is the fact that she never even knew her parents were foreigners. And now Hannah has to figure out what of her idyllic childhood—the perfect Azalea garden, the Saturday morning soccer games, the warm, devoted parents—was a carefully choreographed illusion, and what was actually real.
But both Natalie and Vince remain in FBI custody, so Hannah can only talk to her parents one-on-one and in fifteen-minute intervals. And each parent tells a very different story of how the family started. So who is Hannah to trust? And can she really believe anything either of them says? Seeing as they’ve deceived her for fifteen years?
As Hannah tries to re-construct her story, she’s left to fill in the gaps with her imagination—one that has been unmistakably shaped by the depiction of Cold War-era spies in popular culture.
But in the midst of Hannah’s efforts, the FBI realizes neither Natalie nor Vince ever came into contact with any classified material—a revelation that blindsides and enrages Natalie, causing her to forsake her husband and daughter to return to Russia.
But what come will of Hannah’s relationship with her father? And will she ever discover the truth of her past? Or will her imagination have to suffice?
