First Kiss
by Rick A. Elina

Tim has a theory that the first kiss is a preview
of the relationship to come. And for poor Tim,
that's not always been good thing.

Each of the women in his past has led him
one step closer to his ultimate first kiss
with Vicki, the woman of his dreams.



Cast (L-R)
Rachel Rouse, Mason Scheer, Nikki Zwolenik, Patti Mayo, Christopher Nash, Richelle Greveson, Matt Fowler, and Marc Rouse



Misty Baptiste, staged the reading with limited props
and rather extensive blocking to establish
demarcation of place with limited set as such a
script would dictate.


We follow Young Tim (Mason Scheer - far right) and his pal for life,
Bucky (Christopher Nash) through life and love,
including Tim's very first kiss (Patti Mayo)
- and subsequent chicken pox











Marc Rouse, as Adult Tim, intercedes, narrates and eventually participates



Carol Rice, Don McLaughlin or Persons Unknown
may or may not have moderated the talkback,
but photos have been confiscated the group's therapist
and all involved claim extraterrestrial abduction.

All vague recollections point to a very positive reception
and encouragement to wrap up just a few loose ends.
