Hold On at Helen Borgers Theatre

As a 25th high school reunion goes on in the gym down the hall,

HEATHER WREN wanders into what she thinks is an empty

classroom to sneak a smoke. There, she finds GREG ALDERSEN, a

math teacher, at work. Heather finds it odd that Greg, a teacher who

clearly has also ducked out of the reunion, is working. Greg

immediately recognizes Heather, who is a minor rock star, returning to

her hometown for the first time. At first, she does not recognize him at

her former friend and confidante from high school. As the action of

the play unfolds through the night, the complicated past relationship

between these two damaged characters comes to light, and long kept

secrets and repressed truths begin to surface. Beneath the sharp-

tongued humor of these erstwhile friends lies a poignant sense of

emotional need and unfulfilled destiny.
