The World is Ending and Maybe That's Kinda Hot (School Edition)

4-5f, 3m

In this kinda adaptation of "The Decameron" by Boccaccio, 7 hot young people gather in a generic meadow in Italy to hang and tell stories and hit on each other. Each young person tells one story and as the stories are told, secrets and truths about who they are and who they really love come to light. They are like all kinda freaked/not in the best space though cause they just escaped the Black Plague, like no big deal cause they're safe now - or are they

Weingarten's satirical, ensemble comedy asks, "Can it be kinda hot as the world ends?" while also reflecting on the true power of storytelling in times of turmoil.
