Set: Various locales in NYC and one in Minnesota. Not realistic. Could be conveyed with backdrops/slides.

Young people want to connect with one another in every era, but in the wake of tragedies like 9/11, that impulse is especially strong. Taking place in 1963 and 2001, this powerful drama shows how youth deal with the aftermath of terror: from making chocolate truffles, to painting murals, to exploring other religions. Their solutions may seem naive, but their hope makes everything possible.
