This is the story of Minnie, our fifteen-year old hero growing up in the chaos of the 1970s, in the haze that is San Francisco. She is incredibly bright, and self-reflective. She is gut-wrenchingly honest, and curious about the world around her. And she has just begun an affair with her mother’s boyfriend, Monroe. Shit.

Minnie is keeping an audio diary to record her experiences. Really, she has no one else to talk to. We, as the audience, get to peer into the inner-workings of her young mind, and ride along on her adolescent rollercoaster. We see her fall deep into the spiraling emotions of young-love, and eventually into the alluring world of drugs and sex. And throughout, we get to hear her deepest and darkest thoughts. This is not your typical teenage story, and yet through it, we’re transported back to our own adolescence- growing pains and all.

The Diary Of a Teenager – a play from the graphic novel by Phoebe Gloeckner

Writer Marielle Heller

Directors Rachel Eckerling and Sarah Cameron Sunde
