4 A.M./The Magic Hour

MyVision Theater in the Fringe Festival

4 AM by Jonathan Dorf

Our First Virtual Show!

What's it like to be awake when the rest of your world is asleep? Meet an early-morning jogger, a radio DJ whose show may have an audience of none, a modern Romeo and Juliet, the author of a most unusual letter, and many other teen characters as they search for connection in the magic hour. Through a series of connected scenes and monologues, join them on their journey as they discover whether the monster under the bed is real and collectively wonder...is there anybody out there?

The Magic Hour

(4 AM ~ One Year Later)

It's 4 A.M. and for a group of teens, it's time to wrestle with the changes in their lives. The DJ of the Internet's loneliest radio show gets an unexpected "like," a serial letter writer gathers the courage to actually send one, best friends confront the reality of growing apart, and a modern-day Romeo and Juliet discover balcony scenes are harder than they look. In this moving series of scenes and monologues, the monster under the bed is definitely real...but is anyone ready for what comes next?
