​
Taylor, a closeted 19-year-old from California, has been having friendship troubles during her freshman year of college in the South. When a hurricane forces her to leave campus, she finds herself at the comically dysfunctional home of her uncle, his new wife, and her cousins, who she has not seen since she was a kid because of tension between her mother and her “redneck” uncle Mike. Though Taylor feels completely out of place at first, she ends up finding acceptance she had not from her own parents and bringing the family closer together with one another.
"FIRST SEMESTER: A MUSICAL"
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Wyn Alyse Thomas
UPCOMING READING: FEB. 7TH in Greensboro, NC
Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival Region IV at UNC Greensboro
Winner: David Shelton Award for Playwriting
Follows Alicia, a chronic overachiever with undiagnosed anxiety, as she begins her first semester of college. She has high hopes: get straight A’s to put her on the path to a great medical school, start going to therapy, and, what should be the easiest goal of all, don’t date anyone. This musical is an exploration of identity, dating, friendship, girlhood, adulthood, and mental health at one of the most vulnerable stages in one’s life. Recipient of the New Georgia Grant. First Semester is currently undergoing rewrites and is looking for a home for its second workshop production. Contact Wyn for more info.
