Patience Chose A Party

Patience Chose A Party

by Lindsay Price

This sharp, fast-paced vignette play dives into the chaos and comedy of high school life, especially when it comes to making choices.

From frazzled perfectionists, to the delicate dance of friendship politics, each scene captures the intensity and poignancy of trying to figure out who you are and where you’re going.

Whether it’s choosing a party, choosing to skip a test, or choosing donuts, every moment feels like the end of the world, but might just be the start of figuring it out.
