Max and Elliot are friends, best friends in fact, but certainly nothing more… After graduation she moves away for university leaving Elliot to pursue his schooling locally.

Keeping in touch through phone calls, voice notes, and visits home on holidays seems to be enough to maintain the friendship at first. Then Max meets Lee, and suddenly the voice notes and occasional visits home aren’t what they used to be.

Elliot is left with two choices, tell Max how he feels or slowly lose his best friend forever.

At times hilarious, others heart-wrenching, this coming-of-age dramedy explores friendships, first loves, and growing up. 

Event  Dates and Times: May 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 and May 17 at 8pm. May 4, 11, and May 18 at 2pm

Please note, Saturday, May 10th’s show will be followed by a talkback session with the playwright and director, Faith Andrew, as well as the cast.
