Auditions: Just Friends

Written and directed by Faith Andrew
Performances: May 2–4, 9–11, and 16–18, 2025

Max and Elliot are friends, best friends in fact, but certainly nothing more… After graduation she moves away for university leaving Elliot to pursue his schooling locally. Keeping in touch through phone calls, voice notes, and visits home on holidays seems to be enough to maintain the friendship at first. Then Max meets Lee, and suddenly the voice notes and occasional visits home aren’t what they used
to be. Elliot is left with two choices, tell Max how he feels or slowly lose his best friend
forever.

At times hilarious, others heart-wrenching, this coming of age dramedy explores
friendships, first loves, and growing up.

Characters

  • Max – Female identifying aged 18–26
  • Elliot – Male identifying aged 18–26
  • Lee – Male identifying aged 20–28
