[Juliet Bournigal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I saw this play when I was in high school at a festival. It moved me so much I drove two hours to the high school to see it again. It's a beautiful recount of a friendship between two very different boys that have grown apart with age. Our protagonist hears that his estranged childhood friend Scooter has died and begins to relive their time together through a series of monologues.
