We Are Masks

by Lindsay Price Canadian Author

We all wear a mask. Some hide for good reasons. Some for self preservation. Even when you’re ready to take off your mask, it’s a hard thing to do. What will happen when the world sees who you really are?

Four teenagers wear a variety of masks: Imposter Foster. Persona Paloma. Nolan No-Try. Macy Maintains. Each has to make a choice – show the world their true self, or stay behind their mask. Who will reveal themselves? Who will stay in the shadows?

Praise for We Are Masks

5 out of 5 stars
Bobby Zupkofska
The MMAS Academy
The moment I first read We Are Masks, I fell in love with the script. It does what good theatre is suppose to do: make you think. My students really enjoyed their time with the play and it made them think of the masks we all wear in our day to day life. Altogether a really enjoyable show and one I will definitely come back to down the line.
