The Heart Has Eyes
A Short Play for Teens
by Mike Willis
3W / 1M
Approximate Playing Time: 20 Minutes
You know the type; pretty, popular, impeccably in-style, most-likely to be Homecoming queen – and downright mean. Cheerleader Sarah is very aware of her status among her peers and can’t possibly accept an invite to the Homecoming dance to anyone less than the captain of the football team. When her tag-along friend, Molly, asks blind Emaleigh to join them at their lunch table, Sarah stays true to form. She doesn’t even attempt to cover her disdain, putting an otherwise kind Molly in an awkward position. Molly knows that her own popularity status remains tied to her friendship with Sarah. When second-tier Wyatt shows up excited to see if Sarah has accepted his invitation to the dance, Sarah lies and says she forgot that she’d already accepted the team captain’s invitation and heads off to find him, insisting that Molly follow behind. Reluctant Molly exits leaving Wyatt alone at the table with Emaleigh where he learns the true meaning of the word “beautiful” from a teen who can’t see.
