Six Plays, Set in America, by Concord Theatricals

Teenagers Bonnie and Vic, drawn to each other, are kept apart by their families. Bonnie's father fears her bad influences, while Vic's religious mother wants him to avoid impure thoughts and actions. Thus, the parents sentence their children to lives of disillusionment and repression. (4 men, 4 women.)_ .
