As President of the Film & TV Club, Parker prides themself on their knowledge of film and TV. They see the entire world as one big production: Math Class is a horror movie, the lunchroom is a cooking show, and Phys Ed is a war documentary. When a new student, Dallas, transfers to Somerset High, Parker discovers a new genre - romance. Soon a whole team of students with surprising talents are working together to help Parker make a big cinematic gesture in real life. But can you really connect with somebody you only see as a character? Maybe this isn’t a rom-com - it’s a joyfully hilarious coming-of-age story…with cow costumes.

Reel Times at Somerset High was developed through the Stage Partners One-Act Play Commission program with EdTA, and workshopped with a cast of Thespians from across the country at International Thespian Festival 2024, culminating in a premiere staged reading.
