Parker Jenkins
Cooper, the son of a pastor, and Alex, the son of the church’s choir director, run into each other at the coffee shop where Alex works and eventually begin a secret relationship. However, Cooper’s father discovers the journal where Cooper writes about Alex and initiates a confrontation that quickly turns physical. Sometime later, Cooper is shown having fled to Alex’s house while his father talks to Alex’s mother, who is more supportive. The play ends with Cooper’s father finding him and calling his name, but it’s implied that he’s ready to give his son the love and support he needs.
