Songs About Girls & Their Fingertips

Synopsis:
The trouble comes when people start holding their breath.Kara goes to the pool to swim, Rach to float. Kara holds every lifesaving certificate, Rach hopes to break her breath-holding record. Kara thought Rach needed saving. Little did Kara know. Songs is a play with music that anyone who has been in love and seen that love erode can relate to. At the local pool, out artist Kara meets closeted workaholic Rach and so begins a blossoming love. However the differences that magnetically drew them together eventually become untenable in the face of their insecurities and fears. As Rach's appetites go unchecked and Kara's dealt a hand that turns her world upside down, tempers flare and betrayal takes hold. In the aftermath, the stark reality of loss and grief forces each of them to find their own life's meaning.
