A new play by Ryan Curley

ABOUT THE PLAY

With a winter storm raging outside, a close group of high school friends meet together again — after four years apart — inside their cherished childhood hangout; an old skiing cabin in rural New Hampshire.

Inside the cabin, the group must face the bitter reality of what effects time has on human connection. How it interrogates their relationships with each other, and with themselves.

Now these friends are face-to-face with what was, what could have been, and what really is.
