Only Friends: Dream On

2026 · 1 season

A simmering, emotionally tangled watch where creative passion and romantic jealousy blur together until every rehearsal feels like a confession.

Overview: Senior theater student Jack sets out to create an ambitious stage production, Romeo and Romeo-a bold, male-male re-imagining of the classic Romeo and Juliet. What begins as a dream project soon becomes an emotional minefield when Jack casts friends, exes and their admirers. As rehearsals intensify, unresolved feelings, unspoken crushes, desire, jealousy, and rivalry spiral out of control. Caught between art and emotion, six friends find their relationships tested to the limit.
