Kia Clark has dreamt of Marisol Feliciano since the start of the school year, but always assumed that she was staunchly heterosexual (like everyone else in their neighborhood). While supporting Marisol through a health crisis, the two share a forbidden kiss that starts a fulfilling -- but challenging -- romantic relationship. Straining to keep their involvement a secret from their conservative mothers and their gay-bashing classmates, harassment from even their closest friends escalates, forcing Kia to choose between her newfound sexuality and societal acceptance.

Published Reviews

"Ms. Hutchinson has a sharp ear for dialogue...and shows clearly the web of prejudice and hostility woven by peers and parents."

The New York Times

"...a fast-paced, poignant, often funny work..."

Time Out New York

"A richly-textured drama, woven with threads of meticulously crafted sound composition and articulate comedy..."

Examiner.com

"Hutchinson creates a world alienating and familiar, sexual and violent, with high energy and tension."

Backstage

"This isn't a 'gay play.' It's more or less a traditional (and often quite funny) story about growing up, finding first love, and experiencing the pain and despair of young adulthood."

Blogcritics

"...the rare 'important' play that counts as a joy to watch -- funny and engaging as well as thoughtful."
