Back Stage

A modern romance about Secrets, the First Kiss, and a Big Knife!

It’s not me, it’s YOU! Submerse yourself in the modern dating scene with this dark comedy about falling into a relationship on the first date. Elliot has never had an online date before… at least not one that showed up. Susan has had far too many but would prefer not to discuss them. When they meet in a bar one night, all their personality flaws are revealed, along with a puppet, some modern dance and a desperation that may or may not be love.
