Somewhere, Nowhere
by Lindsay Price
Two Acts, 3M+13W, Expandable to 5M+15W+7 Either
Suitable for
High Schools
A full length play made up of four one act plays. See the characters grow, change, and stumble through four seasons.
Somewhere, Nowhere is a place to call home. A place to leave. The best place in the world. Nothing but a memory. How many of us feel one way or the other about the place we grew up? How many of us love or hate our hometown? Maybe it's both at the same time.
The characters in Somewhere, Nowhere face a dilemma: Do they stay close to home at the end of high school, or do they get as far away as possible? What if they want to do both at the same time? What then?
This Book is a Collection of 4 Plays:
