A modern fairy tale, WORTHY whisks four young heroes on an adventurous quest, fighting dragons, monsters, and villains in order to choose for themselves who they are and which paths they follow. A new devised play exploring how youth identity is affected by external standards and stereotypes, Worthy uses themes of gender roles, body image, and the power media wields in shaping our identity. This creative tale will challenge our audiences to think critically about how they perceive themselves and the world around them.
