Summary
Stain follows 15-year-old Thomas through his quickly-crumbling life when he finds out that he has gotten a 32-year-old woman pregnant after he lied about his age to her. As he sorts through his own situation he tries to ask his parents why they divorced and how their marraige ended up the way it did. Family secrets are only kept at bay for so long in this darkly comic piece about the complexities of family, sex, andrelationships.

Stain premiered in a production by Choice Theatricals at the Kirk Theatre in New York City in June 2008 under the direction of Scott C. Embler.
