While earning plenty of laughs, the play can also address, in various scene combinations, estrangement ("Hey Dad"), class ("Duologue" and "Duologue Meeting"), gender identity ("When I Grow Up"), self-identity ("Breakout Room") and the desire of a young person to know how her life will turn out ("Trio with Dog").

Light, easy humor ("Zooming with Boomers") is woven around the more poignant scenes to create a balanced night of theater. Written to be performed by kids as young as 13, and seen by all ages.
