World Premiere

April 19, 2024

PROJECT FEAR (AND ALL THE FEELS) is a docu-play that tells the stories of Middle School and High School kids interviewed about the fears and challenges during this time in history. Besides the usual minefields of adolescence, youth today is challenged by social media pressures, gender identity questions, cancel culture, increased awareness of systemic racism, gun violence, climate change, an enormous political divide, war, the availability of illegal and prescription drugs, isolation and, of course, a pandemic.

     More than fifty teens from a range of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, from Alaska to New York to South Carolina to California, have been interviewed. These teens were prompted to tell stories that were meaningful to them. Their words are delivered onstage by student actors.

Room 1214

On Valentine's Day, 2018, a nineteen-year-old boy walked into his former high school with an assault rifle. He killed fourteen students and three teachers. He injured seventeen more. Some of the worst damage was done when he shot, seemingly indiscriminately, into a Holocaust history class. Room 1214 is based on interviews with the teacher who taught that class and was in the room that fateful day. Room 1214 imagines what would happen if she had one more chance to teach in that classroom, and her students got a final say.
