The Intentional
Theatre
First Annual International Short Play Festival -
2006
"Impressions", by La'Chris Jordan of Seattle, brings to strangers together on a first date through the Internet. For David and Kelly it's a first date with each other, but it's another in what seems to be a string of uncomfortable situations from which their is no relief.
And
as hard that can be, it's not any easier when your subconscious comes
along to offer advice. Somewhere along the way, David and Kelly
manage to shrug off their "altered" egos and go it alone, with
surprising results.
