comes a new feature film...
​
Six years after their high school graduation, a group of gifted theatre students return to their small Wisconsin town for the funeral of a former classmate.
Spring, 2012. In the small town of Crestwood, Wisconsin, the opening night of Crestwood High School’s production of The Sound of Music is underway. The seniors are ready to put on one last special show before each faces the looming pressures of college and adulthood. Annie plays Maria. Thomas, her boyfriend since freshman year, works the lighting booth. With both set to attend college in different parts of the country, they ward off the looming inevitability of their breakup. Her best friend, Marin, is Liesl, and their friend Evie, who dropped out of school to give birth to a son, watches them from the audience.
Winter, 2018. Thomas is now a college graduate living in Boston with a new girlfriend, Hannah. He’s recently been laid off from his job when Evie calls him with the news that Marin has died in a car crash; Annie thought he ought to know.
As the Class of 2012 reconvenes in Crestwood for Marin’s funeral, memories long buried swell to the surface as the gifted theatre students reflect on their grief and the different directions life has taken them in.
