Taking inspiration from their current life experience plus a splash of imagination, students will write and perform a story: the story of this group of youth, living in this moment. Using a five-scene structure, the students’ own text and visual art, professional theatre artist Kristina Watt Villegas will guide students in giving a theatrical form to what they experience, question, and hope for the future.
