Meet Me Tonight

Staged workshop presentation produced by Square One Entertainment. December 2014.

In Meet Me Tonight, a young girl by the name of Clarissa falls asleep on Christmas Eve. Her toys, inclusive of her new Nutcracker gifted to her by her foster mother, come alive and take her on an adventure through Dreamland. In the meanwhile, Claire, a woman in her mid-twenties, prepares to be reunited with the daughter she placed into the foster system ten years ago. She struggles to leave her apartment as her best friend and roommate place her in the middle of their feud. As they move towards their reunion, they both learn about accepting the people in their lives and realize the importance of family, in any incarnation it may exist.
