TEEN DAD | PLAY SYNOPSIS: Abby, a precocious emo-goth teenager, orchestrates a surprise reunion for her mother Tanya, and birth father Tom, with the help of her mom's fiance/healer John. Hoping to provoke a long-lasting reconciliation between her parents before her high school graduation, Abby's plans completely derail when Tom arrives with his new girlfriend Alisha.
