Synopsis

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

Consequential Strangers is a comedic piece that explores fulfillment and gender roles through an unlikely encounter in a men’s bathroom.

James is a single father struggling to change his daughter’s diaper in a bathroom without a changing table.

Rob steps in to help, and an unlikely conversation ensues.

Faced with unconventional circumstances, James and Rob discuss fulfillment, hurt, and expectations — all while trying to change a diaper.
