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

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.
Rachelle Kinn
CHS Theatre Department
darklight is a great play about a topic no one want to talk about. It was a challenging and rewarding play to direct.
Jade Hanham
Hawkes Bay Youth Theatre
The students were totally engaged with this play from the very first reading. It is a thought-provoking piece with lots of opportunities for physical theatre. It does delve into serious subject matter but this is the reality for many young people. My students also appreciated that the issues were expressed through the teenage perspective.
