Good Kids

Directed by Nenad Pervan
Written by Naomi Iizuka
Presented virtually on Apr. 16-17

This striking play takes place in a very recent past in a Midwestern high school and it is loosely based on true events. It is also taking place in the cyber-world of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social networks and platforms. It is about casual sexual encounter going terribly wrong and the very public aftermath that blames and shames the victim. This is a harsh play about the topic that should not and cannot be ignored.
