Production Notes:
An original script about Shelly, who is trying to decide if she wants to have a relationship with George after having her previous love die.  The script walks through many different scenes quickly and thus Shelly stays in her same outfit (which is central to the plot, the sweatshirt was her deceased love's).  George wears the same main outfit, and changes sweaters and jackets to achieve different looks.  A small budget show with a limited time to assemble the costumes, most of the show was pulled from stock.  The one main symbol, the sweatshirt, served as a crucial part of the show, however, as her decision to take it off, revealing a spring flowered shirt, indicated her ability to move on.
