LOOK FOR ME Video Now on YouTube

Video of the first-ever performances of LOOK FOR ME, the musical about healing from trauma, is now available on YouTube.

Look For Me was created to challenge one of the most pervasive myths about trauma and PTSD: that the damage done by traumatic experiences is a life sentence.

The video now available is from performances of a 25-minute excerpt of the show presented at the New York New Works Theatre Festival in September, 2018. The excerpt captures the full storyline of the main character, Eric Lopez, a young man who goes to warβ€”one of the most commonly-portrayed examples of trauma.

The full show includes major and minor supporting characters who have experienced trauma under different circumstances and with different details...but which of course lead to a very similar array of symptoms.

Look For Me was written by Liz Schiller (book and lyrics) and Ben Wilkins (music). The full show (which has not yet been produced) has additional lyrics by Open Mike Eagle and additional music by Samwise Aaron and Erick Schroder.

Creator Liz Schiller's vision is for the full show to be performed, possibly at a university in partnership with researchers and practitioners, for the presentation to be filmed, and for the full video to be available for streaming, to help increase understanding about trauma and healing.
