Lovin' Thyself

An Unintended Disaster

Opening Scene As the proscenium stage mirrors the glamorous, white walls of Lauren’s room, Lauren and Junior lay on top of Lauren’s puffy bed. The two were discussing their plans for the summer, Matilda abruptly opens the door of Lauren’s room. As soon as Matilda closes the door, she collapses to the floor and starts whining. Attempting not to laugh at the spectacle of Matilda on the rug, Lauren and Junior glance at each other and choose to help Matilda lift herself. They asked Matilda what happened and she begins to explain, in tears, how her boyfriend broke up with her. Attentively, Lauren and Junior listen.
