When estranged friends reunite twenty years after the high school theater production where they first met, they face fresh feelings, old resentments, and drama that follows them offstage in a charming ensemble queer rom-com.

Annie, Vicky, Lola, and Dylan put on the performance of a lifetime at their high school production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. But, when the wrap party ruptured their friends-turned-lovers’ relationships for good, the night became a painful memory. The friends went their separate ways, but none of them are exactly... thriving. So, twenty years later, when their beloved former theater teacher asks them to come back for a one-night revival of the play that brought them together, they all agree. It was just high school drama, after all. What’s the worst that could happen?

Heartwarming and brimming with nostalgia, sweetness, and wit, Play It Again brings together a loveable cast of queer characters who re-discover their power through performance, their formative first love, and the friends who remind them that love is possible.
