“Calendar Girl” by Ken Preuss
Directed by Soph Rubin-Siegel
A woman relives a tumultuous year as she flips through a calendar she is about to discard. Hitchcock, humor, heartbreak, and horror ensue.
BECKY: Female (20s–40s) A smart and somewhat reserved office worker. A fan of Alfred Hitchcock films. Hopes her crush on co-worker, Chad, will add little mystery and adventure to her life.
CHAD: Male (20s–40s) Becky’s flirty co-worker. A man of dubious motives and drunken tendencies. Charming and sweet at times, but equally shallow and insensitive.
ALEXA: Female. (20s–40s) Another of Becky’s co-workers. Slightly younger. Slightly sexier. Ditzy but good of heart. Stealing Chad’s affections through no fault of her own.
DERRICK: A new co-worker. Similar to CHAD in age and stature. Only appears for one small exchange.
