Underwater
by Lindsay Price
This powerful drama dives into the life of a teenage competitive swimmer whose entire world revolves around the dream of Olympic gold. Swimming has always been her passion—until now. Surrounded by the relentless expectations of her parents, teachers, coaches, and herself, she feels trapped on a roller coaster speeding out of control.
Sometimes, the weight of expectation is heavier than water—and you can drown without ever sinking.
The script offers bold opportunities for your ensemble to shine through interactive staging and a rewarding challenge for tech students to design creative lighting and sound.
A dynamic and theatrical character-driven piece, this play is a resonant exploration of identity, ambition, and the cost of perfection.
