What is Dark of Moon?

Dark of Moon is a comedy about the hidden rite of passage. The bump in your life's journey that nobody warns you about.

It's about decisions.

When you're 18, there's that feeling of “Woo Hoo! I'm 18! I can get my own place, set my own hours! I'm an adult!

When you're 21, there's the realization that “I'm a FULL adult now! I can drink in bars! I can buy booze legally! Let's party....”

Then, a few years later...it can be 1 year, 2 years, 10 years...the novelty wears off. You realize that, along with freedom, being an adult brings responsibilities that you never dreamed of. Rent. Relationships (or a lack thereof). Career. Bills. You begin to realize that drifting along in life is fine for a teenager, or even a young adult. But wait too long, and drifting can lead you right into a rut, or a dead-end in life that's harder to get out of than it is to avoid in the first place. You have to decide just what your adult persona is going to be, and which direction you're going to pursue in life.

In other words, it's time to grow up.

This is what happens to five friends...Beth, Zeke, Sammi, Miller, and Drew...when a decision by one of their number impacts them all. They decide that, if they must grow up, they will do so on THEIR terms, thank you very much. So they set out to find definite direction in their lives...to find a job that supports and satisfies. To make the bonds of friendship that will follow us into our golden years. To find love.

Dark of Moon is their journey. There are laughs...lots of laughs. There are also tears. But in the end, as our one character Sammi says:

"After all of the posturing, the posing, the drama, and the hurt feelings, what it all comes down to is this: In the end, we're just friends dancing on the edge of a new millennium. We act like we know what we're doing, and what we want, but the fact of the matter is that we're all dancing just as fast as we can, and nobody has a clue as to when the music's going to become un-danceable, or stop all-together. So we live, we learn, we love...and then move on. Maybe we'll find that special someone to walk the path with us, or maybe we won't. And after all is said and done, we're left just where we started...on our own, and standing in the Dark of the Moon. And that's not so bad."
