WHEN I WAS tells the story of a woman who, with the help of her younger self, reflects on her teenage years. Guiding herself through her past with a lens of humor, musicality, spirituality, and oftentimes angst- the play tackles the age-old question: “What are some things you’d tell to your younger self?”

Mentions of self-harm, addiction, and sexual assault.
