Acting
On the opening night of “Romeo and Juliet”, our title actors begin to realize their desires to play each other's roles, and while still in love, they begin to clash.
Donya, an ambitious Iranian-American high schooler who launches an outrageous campaign to become Prom Person, the gender-neutral replacement for Prom King and Queen at Sovereignty High. Determined to prove a girl like her can be the center of the story, Donya dives into fake promposals, strategic PDAs, and increasingly unhinged schemes. Obsessed with losing her virginity as the key to popularity and belonging, she believes her ethnicity is also a barrier to success. Torn between Skaz, the school’s golden boy, and Cullen, an emo new kid she suspects is a vampire, Donya’s schemes spiral into public scandals and a ban from prom, forcing her to confront what she truly wants.
When two estranged teenage boys take a road trip from West Virginia to California, their lifelong romantic feelings as well as fear of their parents' judgment become unavoidable.
When long-awaited rest is found amidst lonesome insomnia, our dreams visit us with those we wish to sleep beside again, unseen selves, the mourning dove, and birthday cake.
