Catch SELFIE, The New Play For Teens Offers Honest Look At Consent and Self-Promotion

Young People's Theatre (YPT) is proud to present the premiere of Christine Quintana's powerful play about consent, Selfie. The award-winning play for ages 13 and up will be presented in the Studio April 23 to May 11.

The first party of the school year comes packed with expectations. It's a time to renew old friendships and perhaps find new love. But what happens when an incident shatters the connections between three friends? Teenage relationships are complicated enough - especially when you add the reckless power of social media. Incisive and witty, Selfie is a powerful reflection on sexual consent, failed communication and self-promotion in this era of Instagram.

Selfie runs from April 23 - May 11, 2018. It is recommended For ages 13 & Up. Run time: 65 mins. Opening Night is on Thursday, April 26 at 7PM.
