REUNION

Megan Tusing breathes life into this story of three college friends: Adam, Polly, and Hope. They are gathering in June 2021 for their 25th reunion, which was postponed the year before because of Covid. Now they're trying to reconcile who they were then with who they've become in this post-pandemic world. Once close, they have drifted apart and kept secrets until a crisis provides a platform for them to reconnect. Tusing captures the emotional essence of each character, past and present. Listeners will feel the fear of losing who you once were and the sadness of friendship withheld. Always present is the memory of the pandemic's raw fear, which Tusing expresses well.
