Lost Angels at The Vogel

Sunday, April 30th at 2:00PM and Monday, May 1st at 7:30PM

Playground Theatre Project presents Lost Angels at the Count Basie Center for the Arts in the Vogel. These are the very first revamped public performances of this social issues one-act play that has been touring schools throughout the east coast over the past seven years.

During a lockdown, 11 high school students are stuck in a classroom without a teacher and they only have texts and the PA system to let them know what is happening in the rest of the school. Amidst the confusion and for some, panic, these students will learn a great deal about each other. Stereotypes will be broken down, secrets will be revealed, and unique friendships will be forged. Discoveries will be made about who they are and how they relate to each other. Lost Angels touches on bullying, violence, racism, sexism, drug/alcohol abuse, depression, and suicide. The piece brings up issues current in today’s society with today’s young people and challenges them to have a better understanding of themselves and each other. Compassion and tolerance are taught through truthful acting, realistic writing, and young people relating to their peers.
