Four interconnected plays in which the young negotiate entrenched systems of power...

Great Awakenings

May 1998. The campus of a large religious university. Two roommates, friends since childhood but now at odds, face a stranger in their room and take a phone call from their past. As secrets surface and emotions boil over into violence, these young women must work to resolve the tensions that have always kept them close.

Her Kiss

On the night of Princess Diana's death, a recent high school graduate works the graveyard shift at a mini-mart and gas station in his hometown. Over the course of a long night, the teen encounters patrons who challenge his sense of self while he waits for a special someone who may or may not arrive.

Meribah

August 1996. Two teens meet on a backyard lawn for a reckoning, unaware they will soon be joined by an unpredictable presence bearing unwanted gifts.

Do You See What I See

On the way back from catching a showing of a movie they're forbidden to see, two familiar young women, along with their chaperone, discuss desire, punishment and acting out-all while prying eyes descend from the sky.
