Starting on October 17, 2020, you'll be able to see a virtual reading of LOOK FOR ME, a new musical about trauma and PTSD, the people living with it, and the people living with them. Free!
Zina was in a car accident. Abby was raped. Eric went to war. All of them are having nightmares and can't seem to focus. Zina is going to leave her family in order to save them. Abby finds relief in marijuana and cocaine. Eric is not sure he wants to keep living. They're ruining their closest and most important relationships with their anger, substance use, and other PTSD symptoms—but those are the connections they need most in order to heal. Is healing even possible?
LOOK FOR ME has been in development since 2015. The reading features top talent from New York and around the U.S. Under lockdown, everyone filmed with cell phone cameras, and then we edited it all together so you can hear the harmonies and see the story up close. We're still polishing--your opinion is welcomed.
