    So much hope in this play. So much unsaid longings and dreams all coming out of Jamie as they reflect on the last day of high school and very soon it will all change in a different state and around all new people and their thoughts about Jack and what Jack means to them You can sense just how much Jamie loves this guy and how much he has meant to them the past few years. I can now try to breathe as I found myself not during Jamie's speech and then when Jack appears. Love can win! I hope.
