#TheSocialMediaPlay at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts

Thursday, April 11 @ 7 PM

Features an all-youth cast and a post-show discussion.

#TheSocialMediaPlay, inspired by real-life tragedy wrought upon young adults, and detailing the tumultuous relationship between cause and effect of social media usage in today’s unfiltered world.

As the landscape of digital communication has altered the way in which the youth of today interact with one another, it was only a matter of time before digital platforms were utilized for bullying and other forms of harassment. #TheSocialMediaPlay shines a light on the emotional turmoil caused by cyberbullying; a new method of perpetuating one of the oldest teen issues known to society. As a result, youth suicide rates tied to this type of behavior, are at an all time high. 

The themes included in #TheSociaMediaPlay include real-life stories picked right out of the ashes of the tragedy; depicting actual accounts involving teens ripped from today’s headlines. This show focuses heavily on short term actions which levy very long term consequences.
