Storyline: Set in 1970s Brooklyn, Summer with Dianne is an unconventional comic love story following Sonny, a fifteen-year-old from the Bronx.

About the Playwright: Seth Zvi Rosenfeld is a celebrated New York writer and filmmaker whose credits include The Get Down, How to Make It in America, and plays such as Downtown Race Riot and Servy-n-Bernice Here is the corrected version of the text with spelling and grammatical errors addressed: CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS: [SONNY] Male, 18+ to play 15, Italian, Latino, Middle Eastern, or Jewish. Wiry, expressive, magnetic, but not conventionally “cool." A resourceful teenager hailing from a working-class Bronx neighborhood. He possesses a sharp wit and keen intelligence, but beneath his tough exterior lies a sense of vulnerability. Street-smart, yet still holds onto a certain naivety. This character is at the heart of a coming-of-age story, navigating the complexities of adolescence, sexuality, and self-discovery. LEAD Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns & I'm looking forward to seeing your work. Thanks so much!
