The funny and touching story of Calvin Jones, a 16-year-old biology expert, his would-be superhero brother, Alexander, a college dropout with an IQ on par with da Vinci, and their parents, ornithologist Maureen Allen Jones and the conflicted antihero Ellis Jones, a physicist at the Pentagon who apparently likes to tinker at home on the weekends. In a race against time, Alexander knows what’s wrong with the world and fully intends to fix it. Ellis believes he knows how to end “the arms race” and Maureen knows she’s making the right decision in quitting her job. Calvin is the only one who doesn’t have the answers. If he could only answer the question of why his fish are dying, he could keep up with the other Joneses. Keeping up with the Joneses has been nominated for four playwriting competitions, including the Mark Twain Award for best new comedy, and won the region IV Student Playwriting Award of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival.
