One-Act > Searching for Him

Drama, 2 young men, 2 young women, 45 minutes

SYNOPSIS
Two girls, best friends, search to find themselves through unhealthy relationships with boys. Tatyana lacks self-confidence and so, rather than meeting boys on her own, she creates imaginary relationships with those her best friend Alice meets. Alice wants so badly to leave her school and family that she is willing to leave town with Chris, her controlling boyfriend. The two debate what is best for each other.
