trudging through life at The Right Path Academy is a group of silly, intense, thoughtful, difficult high school seniors. they gather every day - bonding over their senior projects, a game called Most Fucked Up, homemade zines, & junk food galore. during their last semester at the run-down boarding school, things get stranger than ever. nightmares plague the unspoken leader of the group, shadowy figures come and go, skeletons tumble out of their closets, and one of the teens goes missing. will they graduate with more troubles than they started with? are two of them falling in love over shared cigarettes & literature? what’s with the mold? this Southern gothic / coming-of-age play explores how we are responsible for each other, the messiness of growing up, & learning how to accept what we’ve never truly had.

This play was developed under commission from Bishop Arts Theatre Company as part of their inaugural First Move Playwrights Lab - an eight-month-long playwriting incubation & development program for DFW-based playwrights.
