All are Welcome!

About Shared Account: Trying to start her life over after an unsuccessful suicide attempt, Aurora changes high schools and moves in with her single father in hopes of healing from her depression due to a vicious experience of online bullying. Finding the past difficult to delete and forced to carefully examine her own complicated feelings, she adamantly attempts to clear the path for her future and reconnect with her concerned father, who is increasingly distracted by his own mysterious online relationship. It's a play that challenges teen audiences to critically reflect and discuss bullying in schools and online, mental health issues and suicide.
