The ever-opinionated Annabel Turner longs to rise above the suffocating hypocrisy of her privileged New England life. When sent to a finishing school to prepare for an unwanted marriage, what seems like a dead-end to her plans becomes the discovery of a path that promises to fulfill her dreams: a purpose, acceptance, and, above all, love. But when the road is twisted, will she fight to keep them, or will she choose to surrender? A love story, but more than that, the saga of life as we seek the One who will satisfy our tangled hearts.

Through five monologues, contemporary actors ask the question “Why am I here?” on Easter morning as they gaze at the tomb. Script can be used separately or as a whole. Subject matter includes issues such as dealing with shame, feeling like we need to be perfect, and walking through trials. Approx. 10 minutes
