Dan LeFranc's Sixty Miles to Silver Lake is a fresh take on the well-worn plot line: deadbeat dad and kid reconcile. The action is confined to the car ride from Denny's soccer practice to dad Ky's new house in Silver Lake, and Anne Kauffman's (The Thugs) inventive production finds plenty of theatricality in the confines of Ky's car. LeFranc's dialogue flows effortlessly and draws us into a world of adulterous soccer coaches, Christian rock, young love, and home-wrecking Starbucks baristas. There's so much in the 80 minutes of this fast-paced play that the abstract multimedia interludes detract rather than add anything. This is a small quibble though, and is saved by stellar acting — particularly Dane DeHaan in his off-Broadway debut as young Denny.
