THE BRIGHTEST THING IN THE WORLD, by Leah Nanako Winkler (WORLD PREMIERE)
Synopsis: It’s classic rom-com. Beguiling Lane works in a bakery and in short order wins over cool customer Steph with her warmth, wit, and homemade desserts. Their blossoming relationship also opens the door to romance for Lane’s older sister Della, who hasn’t been on a date in years. But the skies dramatically darken as each woman must come to terms with her own limitations. The Brightest Thing in the World is a funny and compassionate new play about people we all know and people we all love.
SEEKING:
LANE, late 20s-mid 30s, Female. Funny, charismatic, easy to talk to. This is a person who is always genuinely interested in what you have to say. Low exterior wall but those who know her know she has a high interior wall. Intoxicatingly charming. People just want to be around her.
DELLA (ROLE CAST), late 30s, early 40s, Female. Her older sister. More or less put together, and “making it,” but she’s honestly kind of a weirdo. Beats to her own rhythm.
STEPH, Asian-American, late 20s-mid 30s, Female. Seems serious but soft inside. Intellectual, sensitive, listens to a lot of NPR. Life hasn't been too kind to her and sometimes she breaks completely open.
