darklight

by Lindsay Price

darklight examines depression and anxiety in teens. Characters fight their inner thoughts, search for their truths, and have surreal conversations with death. Some fail, some find hope.

This is a relevant and necessary issue to explore.

Praise for darklight

Fallon Prince
Langenburg Central School
The technical elements fit so well with the action - a fabulous challenge for our lighting and sound techs.
Debbie Hornback
Montesano Jr/Sr High
The cast really wanted to make sure the message of hope was loud and clear to all who saw it.
Karah Janssen
Marie Murphy School
This show gave our students a challenge both in scene work and in ensemble work. We felt good about doing a show with a relevant, meaningful social message. It prompted fantastic, meaningful discussions in classes after the school saw the play.
