Storyline

Anne is an inexperienced twenty-year-old girl who feels pressured by society to enter the dating world. After laying all her cards on the table and agreeing to a blind date with a mystery man accompanied by her best friend and her date, Anne finally puts herself out there, but with fate’s twisted sense of humour...Anne falls for her best friend's date instead of her own. The double-daters find themselves in an empty cinema as each of their personalities clash. Anne’s patience runs thin but she and her friend's date grow more comfortable. Can you blame her? Her date epitomizes the world's worst first dates rolled up into one sour candy cane.

Roles

Lead	Anne	Female 18 - 25 Years old
Description Anne is nervous, pessimistic and lovelorn. Despite being a true romantic, Anne is an inexperienced dater because of her high expectations for love. Anne is stubborn, but no matter how much she detests cheesy couples, it has gotten to the point where her loneliness outweighs her preconceived notions. She’s the kind of girl who loathes online dating - otherwise known as dating people like a slot machine, or flipping two cards over and hoping they match. She is an undercover rom-com lover and dreams of a whirlwind romance like the ones she reads about or watches on TV. Anne is anxious about dating but is pushed out of her comfort zone by her best friend Collette on an unforgettable blind double date. This role requires mild intimacy including kissing and clothed skin to skin contact.

Principal	Ryan	Male 18 - 25 Years old
Description Ryan is dorky, narcisistic and oblivious. He is your standard geeky guy with a large ego. In reality, none of his jokes land and he has no sense of social cues. He lives in his own world most of the time and likes to think of himself as far more “cool” than he actually is. He is confident but is not aware of his own awkwardness. His ego allows him to miss a lot of what is going on around him.
