Honesty Optional is a contemporary drama/comedy that confronts the blurred lines of honesty and expectations between and among teens and adults. Two very divergent families discover that they have more in common than they might have expected. Everybody cheats at something. Where is the moral compass, and who really has the right to hold it and lead others in the direction it indicates? Community leaders - parents and educators, in this case - find themselves faced with the implications of their own lifestyles and choices. This play is ideal for high schools with an international student body. Playwright, Kenneth Muller, works as an international educator currently teaching and organizing community/global service activities at the American International School of Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
