About the show
Escape the Noise follows a group of American teens on an outdoor education trip who find themselves cut off from social media and the noise of everyday life. Stripped of their usual distractions, they face the raw realities of their own struggles — anxiety, depression, self-doubt and family pressures — and discover that real connection isn't found in Wi-Fi signals but in each other. This heartfelt, funny and poignant devised theatre piece, performed by Shoreline Theater Academy, explores mental health, friendship and what happens when we truly stop and listen. The show runs for 75 minutes.
Why see this show?
A heartfelt and funny piece of devised theatre from a student company, exploring mental health and genuine connection among teenagers who've had their phones taken away. Poignant and timely, with real warmth.
