At a high school in a one-stoplight town in Georgia, a group of lively teens navigate young love, sex ed and a few school scandals while studying a canonical play in English class. As the students delve into the American classic, they begin to question the play’s perspective and the validity of naming its hero. With deep wells of passion and biting humor, this dramatic comedy captures a generation mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism and fury. Alternating between touching, unsettling and bitingly funny moments, these teens discover that their future is not bound by the past and that they have the power to change it all by writing their own coming-of-age story. 
 

Critic’s Pick! “A vital, hilarious, thrilling, urgently necessary new play.” – The New York Times

“A heart-wrenching, guttural, cathartic masterpiece. This is a perfect play for our moment, an urgent response to a time of crisis and a battle cry in the face of a terrifying world.” – Variety
