The prompt: Write a short scene, set in a bookstore, with mother and daughter characters and an additional external conflict.  Freshman Eliza King picked up her pencil and got to work. In just under two hours, she had written seven pages outlining the complex lives and dynamic bond of protagonist Lindsay and her mother Sydney and their struggle of picking out a book for their uncle in the Reading Reptile bookstore. The scene was the final task of the playwriting class she took through the 2022 KC Fringe Festival and what got submitted as part of her application to the Coterie’s Young Playwrights Roundtable.
