It's the epitome of what-might-have-been as one character looks across the room and sees the object of their high school desire. there isn't just a 20-year span of characters meeting again, but a more than 20-year interval for 4th Wall Theatre Co.
"It involves the audience’s imagination. They have to put on the clothes that I'm wearing. They have to create the hair that I have And that's fun. That’s fun for them the audience." "My experience with high school reunions is that when I was there I hadn’t kept up with almost anybody. But I certainly found that I was with these people who all had the same formative experiences as I did. And it's irreplaceable. There's a lot still there to connect with. There’s no one else in the world who shares that. I think that's why."
