Overview of the Play from Stage West's Web Site:

Misty Riggs is a nobody. No, really, she is - that’s an undisputed fact. But just as she’s starting sophomore year, she gets the notion she should try to stand out somehow before it’s too late. Misty’s gambit only cements her loserdom, and after one blow too many, she makes a final, desperate bid for glory - the terrible culmination of her burning desire to be recognized for something, anything, no matter how she achieves it.

The play was 90 minutes long without an intermission. It was an interesting play highlighting how far someone would go to obtain craved attention.
