Red Comet is a contemporary coming-of-age comedy-drama where two characters explore friendship, ambition, and the fear of cange at the edge of adulthood. Set over the final year of high school, the play follows two best friends, one driven by logic, the other by emotion, as they navigate unspoken feelings, diverging dreams, and the looming reality of separation. Grounded in naturalistic dialogue and fueled by humour, tension, and quiet intamcy, Red Comet uses a rebuilt car as a central metaphor for legacy, choice, and forward motion. With a bittersweet and hopeful tone, the play is a caracter-driven play that speaks to young audiences and adults alike about growing up, letting go, and deciding what, and who, is worth holding on to.

Scene 3 of Red Comet was workshopped at the Grand Theatre's Cascade Playwright's Lab, London, ON, that resulted in a staged reading, April 27, 2026.
