Call Me By My Real Name: An Honors Play

The play, Call Me By My Real Name, found within this document was written for my Theatre Arts Honors Project. Alongside it is an introduction and description of the writing process, including inspirations and lessons learned. The end contains links to a Google Drive with pertinent emails and journal entries, as well as a recorded performance conducted on May 1, 2020. Call Me By My Real Name follows Missy Stone through her misadventures on many dates. While her therapist suggested recreating these dates to learn from them, Missy has other plans for her and her audience. She takes them through a wild romp of her past dates and is forced to take a deeper look at herself than she ever anticipated.
