Storyline
A middling night on the town is cut short for a young man when he’s overwhelmed by the people around him and impulsively leaves. On the way back, he struggles with feelings of loneliness and self-inflicted ostracization in his car, desperately attempting to drown out the awkward silence any way he can. This only makes it more and more apparent for himself, culminating in a messy breakdown parked in his driveway. Trying to feign nonchalance, he has a quiet conversation with his father where he eventually lays his issues bare.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Quinton | Male 20 - 25 Years old |
Description A lonely, reserved young man desperate to connect with the people around him, despite his own emotional shortcomings. His own vulnerability embarrasses him, making expressing his frustrations a difficult and painful task. Those submitting for Quinton should be well versed in both longer monologues and more improvisational, realistic dialogue. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Quinton's Dad | Male 30 - 50 Years old |
Description A well-meaning, but ultimately ineffective role model for Quinton. While he and Quinton share many of the same issues, he struggles to understand his son. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Nameless Peer | Male 20 - 25 Years old |
Description A friendly, dime-a-dozen guy just looking to have fun with his friends. Socially adept, unfocused, and unintentionally inconsiderate, he’s just about everything Quinton strives to be. | ||
