One Acts | Fault Lines & Hopeless with a Side of Fries

One Acts presents two original short plays by current Towson University undergraduate theatre students. In *Fault Lines*, four friends trapped in an escape room with a ticking bomb must confront both the puzzle and the fractures in their relationships. *Hopeless with a Side of Fries* follows four friends working a snowbound diner shift as a hidden letter, old wounds, and unfinished forgiveness bring humor and painful truths to the surface.
