Trudy Tries To Say I Love You But Runs Out Of Breath by emma joy hill

Trudy has been practicing how to kiss with trash bags. Falling in love is after all a practice, at least to Trudy, who nervously prepares for the future meeting with the love of her life. When a Janitor interrupts her kissing ritual, Trudy realizes she finally has the chance to trade in her plastic for the real thing. A play that explores how the practice of love fills us up.
