Functions

Synopsis:
Skipping class for four high school seniors starts out with a few drinks in the park; it starts out with a discussion on movie sequels, popcorn, past mistakes, future goals; it starts out a few days before graduation, a few hours before commencement practice, and a few minutes before they get in a car and drive back to school, drunk. On that short trip from the park back to school, not even two miles, not even ten minutes, everything changes. A voice-over of a news reporter describes the accident in which two of the teenagers have died. One tragic decision to drink and drive and their friends and family are left with memories and a few photographs. This play communicates to our children that alcohol is a drug and that drinking and driving can lead to serious, even fatal consequences. It also encourages open channels of communication and could provide educators, concerned parents, and others seeking ways to prevent underage drinking with another prevention resource.
