Synopsis

From the nationally recognized Educational Theatre Association’s 2021 Thespy Playwriting competition (formerly Thespian Playworks) comes this short script, created by a high school-aged playwright.

On an uncommonly clear night in Bushrod Park, Margaret and Isaac partake in a questions game.

Riddled with humor and misconception, Oakland is the story of two strangers who have more in common than they think.
