Quaranteens
About
Being cut off from friends and creative outlets can be incredibly difficult to handle, especially with the added stress of school and homework. In this show, audience members will be able to experience a slice of what it feels like to be a high schooler in the middle of a global pandemic. Quaranteens is a collection of monologues written about the struggle of being a teenager in quarantine. Directed, performed, and filmed by members of STC’s Active and Creative Teen Theatre group. Directed by Mel Rhodes.
