Why Watch This Show?
“This play encourages teenagers to think about how they want to live their lives. And what is truly important in this ever-changing (COVID) world.”– Samantha Scott-Blackhall, Director
This play addresses many pressing and important issues affecting teenagers today, including:
- The need for community and “in-person” relationships, especially in a COVID world.
- Teens that live in a cyber world and the negative effects it has on one’s ability to connect to others.
- Social anxiety and social withdrawal that may discourage a lower level of intimacy and sense of companionship in young people’s friendships.
- Mental wellness amongst teenagers who isolate themselves (in their rooms/homes) and rely on the internet, social media, games, Google as their primary source of external connection.
- The coming-of-age for an iGen
- Identifying and then fighting for your dreams and passions
