Only Reason (co-written with Megan Tabaque; formerly titled Teen Girl FANtasies)

A group of online best friends resolve to meet in person and prove their limitless love to their favorite band: Only Reason.

    LOVED THIS PLAY. Read it with a group of friends over zoom during quarantine and we all absolutely loved it. Literally me in high school as a die hard directioner. Thank you for this play.
