The middle children, my sister Jenna and my brother Josh, there father left soon after Joshua was born. And Cheyenne, the youngest sibling, her father came along soon after.

I tried doing things I had no business doing. I also listened to all the teenage angst bands. I was teenager whose life spelled out the word “rebel.” That is until Jesus got ahold of my heart. My life at 16 was very…difficult. I was being a total idiot. You see my Grandparents raised me in church but my grandpa died when I turned 16 and my grandmother was battling the disease that is depression and I decided to go crazy and run from God. However another form of tragedy hit home in the form of suicidal thoughts and constant seizures that ended leading me back to the foot of the cross. At 16 I rededicated my life back to God.

Our ‘star-cross’d lovers’, the principal characters of the play, fall foul of their self-woven spider web of deceits which ends tragically with their demise, along with a few others.
