MAYBE WE'RE ELECTRIC

This coming-of-age story is set in the tiny Thomas Edison Museum in New Jersey. Tegan, who has a disfigured hand, and Mac, a popular athlete, gradually scratch beneath the surface of their public personas to find a connection as they sit out a snowstorm overnight in the museum. Stacy Gonzalez brings both teens to life with a heartrending performance. Tegan is defensive, using her disability as an excuse for her penchant for spreading embarrassing "truths" about classmates. There is longing in her voice as she reads the emails she sends her dad, along with his responses. Her voice is guarded but gradually more friendly as she gets to know Mac. His voice is open, friendly, and honest as he shares a side of himself the public never sees. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2021]
