LT Theatre Board to host Gen Z(oom)

The Lyons Township High School Theatre Board proudly presents Gen Z(oom), a virtual play about today’s reality. An original play written by LT’s 2020 Playwriting Class, it explores the challenges of teens navigating today’s world. These 25 student-writers share their observations of dealing with a global pandemic, isolation, and online learning. By turns moving, shocking and even hysterically funny they seek normalcy in 2020 while hoping for a better future. Gen Z(oom) is edited by senior Giana Salerno, of LaGrange, with original music by senior Reagan Credit, of LaGrange, and features 28 members of the Classes of 2023 and 2024.

The virtual play premiers Sunday, December 13, at 7pm on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lWtMQlJn0o
