Description

I Wanted To Tell You is a standalone mini-opera that follows two characters through two different times of life, college and 15 years after. Theo and Luna are two friends who meet in college, and as they work on a big project together they become closer and closer. Theo has something he wants to tell Luna, but cannot bring himself to say the words. 15 years later, Theo and Luna bump into each other in a coffee shop, and after an awkward moment, feelings begin to pour out, and transcending time, they pull their younger selves on stage to find closure.
