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 an instructor 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.
Produced by New Light Theater Project.
