The play's actors, Kristi, Oscar, Chris, Angela and Samuel all could relate to the subject of moving on in your life after high school. The play also highlights the assistant directing work of Gianella, stage management by Ashley and the able support of understudies, Lawrence, Danielle, Katie, Ashley, Anthony and Dennis.
