Frequently Asked Questions

What's the show about?

The summer before leaving for college, Anna and best friend Maura's lives are notoriously void of the iconic adventures they think they should be having. Under a veneer of teenage chatter, they writhe with the existential crises of humans hungry to experience life but still tethered to home and each other.

What kind of play is it?

It is a drama, with weighty conversations about identity and uncertainty for the future.

What's it based on?

This is an original play based loosely on experiences the playwright went through growing up in a small town.

Are there any trigger warnings?

Presentation of gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia.

Is this play suitable for children?

There are mature themes and frank discussions, but there is nothing in this play that would be difficult for pre-teen and teenage children. Younger children may find the subject matter hard to engage with.
