FOUND: an original play

Levels presents several fully-staged theatre productions each year, all directed, produced, designed and performed entirely by students 7th grade and up. "Next Stage" productions are created off-site by advanced students, using Levels as a co-producer and performance venue.

South High School senior Anoush Baghdassarian presents the world premiere of her original play, FOUND, about a young woman named Lucine and the traumas she experienced during the Armenian Genocide. As Lucine’s older self writes in her diary, we see her youthful memories enacted onstage, forming a very personal portrait of a devastating time in world history.

After each performance, there will be an moderated talkback with the author and cast about the history behind the play.

Written & Directed by Anoush Baghdassarian
