About the Play

PNU follows a researcher conducting a study on the experiences of queer women on dating apps while simultaneously diving into the particular relationships between three queer women participating in the study. In the process of her research and listening to the experiences of queer college students, she discovers more about her sexuality and how she fits into the queer community. Through this vignette and documentary style show, PNU aims to highlight the highs and lows of online dating in all its craziness.
