You’ll love this teen dramedy from TV’s Adventure Time writer Dick Grunert. Full of clever pop culture references and coming-of-age nostalgia, it’s sure to resonate with young actors while appealing to a broad audience of all ages.
Max Griffin, geeky aspiring filmmaker, and Amanda Hughes, the most popular girl in school, are having the worst day of their lives. The school bully has stolen the only copy of Max’s new screenplay, while Amanda has just been dumped and humiliated by her boyfriend in front of the entire student body. So Amanda and Max, who have never before spoken a word to each other, decide to team up and help each other in hopes of turning the atypical school day into the best worst day of their lives.
Light-hearted and fun, this fast-paced play feels like a sitcom and is filled with comedy, drama, a touch of romance, and — yes — even zombies!
