Today is the only time you can see this play before it goes to the world's largest arts festival.

Every four years, DSA students have the opportunity to perform at the festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, and it's become a rite of passage for many. With mostre:Action“At an early age, I loved theater. It was a way for me to escape real life. Having an opportunity to perform in front of a different audience [in Scotland] is very meaningful to me.

The play continues to follow the timeline of real events that came after the lockdown. The election season is covered, as well as the issue of gun violence: The characters must deal with a shooting that took place at a grocery store in Boulder, just thirty minutes from their school. “I hope that the audience stops for this hour and sees the impact all these things that have happened in our world in the past two years has had on our youth. That not only are they back in school grieving the loss of their last two years of school, [but] the social-emotional development they missed out on,” says director Shawn Hann, who heads the theater department at the school.

“We just jumped back into school full-blast, like it was normal," Hann says."But it wasn't normal yet. We were still in masks. We still, even this month, have handfuls of students who miss school for weeks due to having COVID or their families all getting it after resisting for two years. I'm hoping that through art they are able to react to the events of the past two years and begin the process of recovering. I hope they can begin to recover.
