‘No Longer Friends’ is an ode to friendship in your twenties. How we support each other through grief, big dreams, and growing up - and though these friendships don’t all last forever, it doesn’t mean they weren’t worth having.

Our development reading is tonight 6pm 🔥 at the Blackbox Theatre in the Kingston Arts Centre.
One night only to hear these brilliant actors bring this script to life.
