Chapter Select - International Thespian Festival 2022Corey is lost. It’s the day of her high school graduation and her unsigned yearbook confirms what she already suspects…no one knows who Corey Taylor is. And how can she blame them when Corey hardly knows herself? When her best friend, Reese, suggests a road trip across America to meet other people named Corey Taylor, Corey reluctantly agrees, and embarks on the trip of a lifetime, hoping that in finding other Corey Taylors, she’ll also find herself. Each scene takes Corey to a new part of America-from a rustic home in Possum Trot, KY, to backstage at a cabaret theater in NYC, to the home of a reclusive author in Lebanon, KA, to a bohemian colony in Austin, TX, to a wide open ranch in Sioux Falls, SD. But it’s a surprise last minute stop that puts everything in focus for Corey, and she learns that finding herself is a journey, not a destination.

Great for Students
Drama students, and there are usually about 15 to 25 of them who participate in the school drama performances, picked up the play easily and related a lot to the characters.

We found this new show at the absolute perfect time. This was a rebuilding year for us, and we had no idea what fall auditions would bring. We loved the flexibility of gender, the varying sizes of roles, the variety of character personalities, and the many doubling options to help with some of our unknowns going into the show. More than that, though, we loved how this very simple idea of discovering who you are as a young adult, an idea so relatable to our students and audiences, was explored, answered, and beautifully still left unanswered.
