Love, ad libbed

Jade McKinney isn't interested in love. In fact, she's sworn off feelings all together after her breakup from George Greg and Threesome Anna. The student-directed plays offer the perfect escape for a heartbroken theater minor - after all, what better way to get away from your own feelings than by getting into someone else's? 

Ian Davidson just wants to graduate. But according to Middle Penn College's requirements, even tech theater majors have to perform in a show before they can get their degree. A terrifying prospect for someone who prefers lighting up a stage to being on it... 

Thrown together as scene partners, neither Jade nor Ian are thrilled about being in the same spotlight. To make matters worse, their director insists they spend time outside of rehearsal 'building chemistry'. But Jade's 'hands-on' approach is too intense for Ian and Ian's offer of friendship is too boring for Jade.  

As the semester wears on, Jade's resolve to be alone wobbles in the face of Ian's steady devotion. But when their hearts go off script, will she exit stage left?
