A comedy special featuring everyday people as they read from their embarrassing teenage journals, poems, songs, essays (and more). The wonderful intensity of of tortured poetry meets delightfully soul-baring free verse for the totally sincere musings of the teenage mind. It's comedy on growth hormones. The bold souls who take the stage to read their own youthful writings remind us that everyone has at one time gone through the trials of Teen Angst.
