First Kiss Pie

A pie recipe might be the ingredient this late bloomer needs to finally kick start her latent love life.

Amy was 24 and had never been kissed. She spends years fantasizing about how her first kiss might finally happen until some good advice from a friend, a snowstorm, and a tempting pie give her what she needs to finally make realize her romantic dreams.

Performed/Written by Amy Allen
Produced / Music by Ashley Melzer
Produced for Audio Under the Stars, a a summer-long audio festival in Durham, NC, hosted by the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University.
