GIANT SLALOM

by Jess Honovich

FULL LENGTH: After a sponsorship representative shows up unexpectedly to their seemingly low-stakes race, high schoolers Dagny, Skylar and Lauren — three of the best alpine ski racers on the Big Bear Race Team — must compete both for victory and for his attention. That is, unless their cutthroat attitudes tear their friendships—and like, maybe their careers — apart.

    I have wanted to include this play in Red Theater's script club for so long. One interesting thing that our conversation highlighted is the choice of time. I'm so fascinated with the differences in the voices of young millennials versus gen z. It's such as strong choice to set this play in 2017 and you can hear that choice in the way the characters speak and what they speak about.

    Absolutely sparkling scenes between three young women navigating the crucial time in life where we begin to choose for ourselves what matters most. This is a play that invites a wide range of staging options and is a gift to both performers and audience.

    What a pressure cooker - it's impossibly easy to get invested in the lives of these three teen athletes and how they navigate the world/each other. It's such a great opportunity for young actors to dig into some meaty, funny, complex roles, plus design elements that invite creativity and beauty amid the high-speed thrills and emotional violence.

    This belongs in the canon of excellent teen dramas. Stage this now, please! Yes, YOU!
