Young People's Theatre Presents THE CODE by Rachel Aberle
Young People's Theatre will present Green Thumb Theatre's The Code - an impactful production about the effects of social media on personal relationships. Written by award-winning playwright Rachel Aberle, and recommended for ages 13 & up, The Code will be presented in the Studio November 27 to December 14, 2018.
After receiving backlash for instigating a student protest at her high school, Moira is initially supported by her best friends Simon and Connor. However, Simon's support turns to anger after learning his feelings for Moira are not reciprocated. When Simon leaks a humiliating video mash-up of Moira's protest speech, there are consequences he cannot control. Green Thumb Theatre's play for teens examines complex questions about loyalty, accountability and taking power.
Directed by Patrick McDonald. Featuring Elizabeth Barrett, Nathan Kay and Mason Temple.
Set designer: Ruth Bruhn; Costume/Sound Designer: Elizabeth Wellwood; Assistant Director: Bronwyn Carradine; Stage Manager: Tessa Gunn.
