INNOCENT

 

INNOCENT KIND OF LOVE
by Rachel F. Hirsch

What happens when an innocent kind of love spirals into an obsession?
For Dale and the young object of his desire the results could be shocking.

Rachel

Rachel F. Hirsch (writer/co-director)
Rachel recently moved to Manhattan from Washington, DC where she completed her B.A. in Music at The George Washington University.  She is a singer/actress pursuing a career in theatre.  This is her first written work, and she currently has two other untitled pieces in the works.  Some of her on-stage roles have included the chorus of Democracy with the Washington National Opera, Maria in West Side Story with the Dane Peterson Summer Series, and Hope in Urinetown at the George Washington University to name a few.  Innocent Kind of Love is not only one of her first introductions to the other side of the stage, but hopefully her first of many New York theatre experiences.  Rachel would like to thank her magnificent cast and crew for coming along with her on this project, Ken and Jenn for taking interest in her writing, and her friends and family who have traveled far and wide to share this wonderful opportunity with her.
