Did you ever wonder what might have been if you had said or done something differently?  And who hasn’t had a moment when they’ve wished they could simply reset — and start over? 

At a local Cajun restaurant called Pappa Jeaux’s, a young man is getting a bite to eat while he ponders what to do with his first commission check.  Soon, the restaurant fills up with more customers:  four former high school friends who are reconnecting; a new marketing manager from NYC meeting his Louisiana boss for the first time; a lonely girl with a lot on her mind; and a charming Southern waitress with hidden problems of her own. 

At pivotal moments throughout, the story stops and “rewinds,” giving characters an opportunity to make different choices about what they say or how they act or react.  Some of those choices end well, and some end badly.  And sometimes the characters genuinely have no idea the repercussions of their behavior, even as the audience is left to see the value of honesty, generosity, and genuine connections with others. 

Do-Overs is a quick-paced one-act that examines how the smallest of changes in perspective or approach can have broad, lasting impacts on others.
