    So sweet, so honest, so real. Playwright Cassidy Byron writes with great authenticity about what happens in college dorm rooms, the switches and reverses, the starts and stops, the hesitations and beginnings. I loved spending time with these four study buddies. Jonathan and Roger are people I'd love to hang out with. Read it and produce it!

    Great timing - we get into the story at the perfect point and leave at the perfect point. It’s tense. It’s awkward. It’s engaging. Dialogue is pitch perfect. A story that’s heartfelt, touching, and real.

    Short, sweet, and funny. A first kiss seeped in embarrassment soon turns into something more wholesome. Touching, sweet, and the kind of queer experience we all dreamed of as a young adult.
