4 A.M.

Synopsis: What's it like to be awake when the rest of your world is asleep? Meet an early-morning jogger, a lonely short-wave radio DJ, a modern Romeo and Juliet, and even the monster under the bed--among many others--as they search for connection in the magic hour.

Notes: Gender-flexible ensemble cast of 6-30+. Minimum 3 males, 3 females (though probably at least 8 actors total would be best). Suggested set. Written specifically for teen actors, and suitable for middle school and up.
