“Six of a Kind”
Six of a Kind is a coming of age movie about the stresses of life. When six friends get together for a night of poker, drinking and joking emotions run high. With the pending graduation coming and the hope of love in the air these friends go all in with their emotions. Through conversations, arguments, gambles and the joys of self-expression they finally come into themselves and find out that what they were all looking for was inside them all along. Gabriel has organized a poker night for his five closest friends. Isaiah (Gabriel’s roommate) has other plans. The clever and all-knowing Gabriel finds a way to trap him into staying. When Soni (fast talking vulgar Theatre major), Summer (a very innocent, British music major looking to break out of her shell), Sway (a general studies major who believes she is in love with ‘Isaiah’) and David (a film student who is in love with ‘Sway’) come over to play poker the games begin. As they make jokes and share intimate stories they reveal their true selves. Summers lack of sexual experiences comes to the light of the group. David confesses his love to Sway and gets rejected. Sway believes she is pregnant by Isaiah. Soni has her faith and confidence thrown into complete upheaval and Gabriel questions his life time long friendship with Isaiah.

The story begins at 10 pm in a an apt where these people have all gathered to play a game of poker.
