Project Synopsis
Two friends bond over the struggles of dating and being single while on a hike, but things take an awkward turn when one jokingly suggests they start dating each other and the other doesn't take it well.
Character 1
Ben
Age
25-28
Gender
Male
Description
Open ethnicity. A little awkward, Ben is a fairly literal, straightforward guy with a dry sense of humour. He's been single for a while and figures he has nothing to lose. He and Sarah were friends in high school but have since drifted apart, and the hike serves as a chance for them to catch up. We're also open to your interpretation of the character and encourage you to bring as much of yourself to the role as possible.
Character 2
Sarah
Age
25-28
Gender
Female
Description
Open ethnicity. Loves to chat and gossip, but tends to close up when things get too real. She's been single for a while and struggles to process or identify what she's feeling, particularly when it comes to relationships. She and Ben were friends in high school but drifted apart before reconnecting after college. The hike is a chance for them to catch up. We're open to your interpretation of the character and encourage you to bring as much of yourself to the role as possible.
