Synopsis

​

17-year-old Sara overslept the morning her high school was the target of a mass shooting.  Separated from her twin sister, she is forced to wait out the aftermath living off the grid with her estranged, ex-military aunt.  When a piece of national news breaks, Sara is inspired to right the past by protecting the future.    

​

Wild-hearted,  vulnerable,  vivid, and  funny, "hurt people" is a solo tour-de-force that uses multi-media, spoken word poetry, and dynamic movement to tell the story behind the next headline.
