At the beginning of "Craving for Travel", a two-actor, thirty-character comedy by Greg Edwards and Andy Sandberg, the lights come up to reveal two offices. One is inhabited by Gary (played by Thom Sesma) and the other by Joanne (Michelle Ragusa).  The two are an amicably divorced couple, both travel agents. The play follows both as they compete for the 'Global', an award given to the 'best travel agent of the year'.

Both actors play several parts: Ragula also plays Gary’s mother, along with his clients, hospitality staff, and travel agency industry staff. And Sesma does a wonderful job in playing the women that call Joanne for her services and -- most entertaining -- the young intern who works for Joanne and creates a huge mess by getting clients sick in Florida.It is easy to follow the distinction between the characters and laugh along with the frustrations of the work of a travel agent: the characters are so eccentric that audience members will find joy in following the dialogue. That said, some of the humor feels dated and consequently a bit difficult to follow; and with almost all of the characters being from foreign countries, the writing and acting often falls into stereotypes and caricatures.

With parts like a travel agent who brags about booking arrangements with the Kardashians third cousin and an elderly couple who cannot travel due to illness, "Craving for Travel" has opportunities for warmth and a deeper story; but when it drifts back into ‘the work’ of a travel agent, it is uninteresting in theatrical terms. However, not impossible to watch.
