Most of the stage is taken up by EVAN’s room, center. Small plaster birds hang from his ceiling and sit on every available surface. A window downstage right. Far right is the door to his room. There is a small hall area where you can see if someone is outside his door.
Stage left is a public high school’s hallway complete with lockers. Stage right is a table at a casino restaurant. The restaurant must also become an area in the woods where kids hang out. A cooler, a couple of milk crates.
