The Round House Theatre’s Teen Performance Company is presenting "Gallows Humor", an original play written by 18-year-old Fin Davis, exploring the serious subject of school lockdowns from a teen's perspective. The unique aspect of the production is that it is completely student-run, from writing to directing and production. This initiative aims to present narratives about school violence and lockdowns through the genuine lens of those who experience these situations, rather than through adult perspectives. The play highlights the importance of teen voices in storytelling about relevant issues.
"There's so much that I could say about this... it's one thing to list a bunch of information about how many people have died... but it's another thing to show people what it's like in that situation."
"We rarely get to see things about this subject matter that's actually written and produced and directed by teens... normally it's written by adults who haven't actually gone through a situation like this."
