Theatre Presents, "GOOD KIDS"
Naomi Iizuka's powerful play GOOD KIDS focuses on a high school community's response to a sexual assault and how it plays out on social media. Told entirely from the point of view of the students involved, it's a blunt assessment of our willingness to look the other way. Due to content and language, we ask that students under 14 years of age be accompanied by an adult. Tickets available now at https://oakarts.tix.com
