I had the honor of collaborating with Jesse, an amazing teen from Dallas, to turn their experience during the pandemic into a ten minute play for the newly published anthology I HAVE A STORY.
Jesse is a brave, awesome middle school theater kid who uses they/them pronouns, deals with depression, and just had a crushing breakup right before the COVID pandemic shuts everything down. Jesse is now sharing their survival guide (with some uninvited help from their loving mom) on what young people should and shouldn’t do when navigating depression during a pandemic. You know, so you are ready for the next pandemic…or robot uprising…or zombie apocalypse.
