ROOM 1214
By Michelle Kholos Brooks
Directed by Sarah Norris
With Annabelle Gurwitch, Thyme Briscoe, Ben Hirschhorn, Kleo Mitrokostas, Andrea Negrete, and Alessandro Yokoyama
Inspired by real interviews with a history teacher who experienced the 2018 tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School firsthand, this stirring memory play, by the playwright of the critically acclaimed H*tler’s Tasters, follows as she returns to the school to teach one final lesson, asking what if you could rewrite history?
She reunites with her students as they were – playful, funny, and full of life and potential – real kids with bright futures. Equal part memorial and essential history, Room 1214 overflows with truths both uncomfortable and necessary, offering a moving reminder that the best way to honor the past is to learn from it.
