Synopsis

"To the Decade Club!"  And with that toast, a group of graduating teenagers vow to reunite every ten years.  Starting at age eighteen, the characters take your audience on a journey that spans four decades of laughter, tears and memories.  Like the party with the "mystery" punch that wasn’t so mysterious after all.  Or Bert and Ernie, the school nitwits, whom everybody is convinced are destined for Sesame Street!  And what would growing up be without falling in love?  Shy Lizzie has always loved Steve, and Steve may just love her too, if he can find a way to deal with his troubled past.  But wait!  Miss Popularity, Robin, also has a crush on Steve, and Doug, an easy-going guy, loves Lizzie.  Angela Crane, the class president, would rather be in the Senate than in love.  Chris is happily married.  Or so he says.  No one’s ever seen his wife!  By the time we reach our last reunion, there’s a whimsical and heart-warming matching of souls.  While your audience enjoys this funny, tender tour of growing up, your actors will be challenged by the opportunity to depict their characters as they mature from the age of 18 to 58.
