The World May Be Flat at Pugh Theater - Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts

The World May Be Flat is an intimate two-character drama drawn from survivor testimony and lived experience in the wake of the Pulse nightclub tragedy, exploring survival and its emotional aftermath ten years later. Rather than revisiting the tragedy itself, the play focuses on survivor's guilt, grief, internalized shame, memory, and the pressure to move on. The play follows Noah, a survivor struggling to process unresolved trauma a decade later, and Jagger, his younger partner shaped by a different cultural and political reality, as they clash over LGBTQ+ identity, politics, healing, and memorialization. The production is presented as a benefit supporting Central Florida LGBTQ+ youth programs through the Rose Dynasty Foundation.
