RISE: An Immersive Exploration of Gun Violence in Schools
Hero Theatre presents the world premiere of Rise: An Immersive Exploration of Gun Violence in Schools, devised and directed by Jack McCarthy.
In RISE: An Immersive Exploration of Gun Violence in Schools audiences become part of a school lockdown. This fictional account, inspired by true events, explores themes related to gun violence in schools. Presented in an actual school, RISE gives a candid look at what youth in America face today.
RISE is presented by HERO Ignite, a new division at HERO Theatre, that serves as an incubator for new works inspired by stories of young people in America today.
Warning: The show contains themes and depictions of suicide, the loss of a love one, and violence that has extreme sound effects. Therefore, the recommended age for RISE is for ages 13+. In addition, this 75-minute show is a standing-only experience. For those with physical conditions or concerns about the content and accessibility, please feel free to email us for more details at contactus@herotheatre.org.
