Synopsis: This collection of short plays follows a group of friends as they face the hilarious and heartfelt pressures of eighth grade. Whether surviving under-cooked hotel waffles, fighting over high stakes board games, or flipping yard sale junk into a future plan, they’re all just trying to stay connected. Together, they prove that even when life gets messy, thirteen-year-old minds can figure a lot out in ten minutes or less.

The plays herein may be licensed together or separately. The piece was conceived as a full length evening of entertainment, but each short stands perfectly well on its own without any prior knowledge of the characters.

Plays included: First Locker, Minimum Rage, Down Line, Inflated Ego, Poster Boy, Click Bait, Up Cycle, Calculated Risk, Waffle Truth, Last Dance
