Unnecessary Monsters
by Megan Hayes
Directed by Jaclyn Hofmann
Unnecessary Monsters is an interactive play experience to help students address the important issue of bullying and all of its consequences. The play follows the lives of four middle school students dealing with the struggles of peer pressure and trying to fit in. Connor is a comedian who just wants to make people laugh with him instead of at him. Madison is new in town, but her style doesn’t seem to jive in this new school. Jayden and Amanda would like to make new friends, but feel swayed by their old friends’ opinions. Will they survive the eighth grade and come out on the other side with the differences that make them so wonderful?

About Synchronicity Theatre
Synchronicity Theatre activates communities toward social change through powerful, transformative theatrical experiences. In collaboration, Synchronicity supports women artists, forges long-term and effective community partnerships and develops new works. Founded in 1997 by four women dedicated to working collaboratively to bring challenging, meaningful theatre to Atlanta audiences, we produced our first full season and incorporated as a 501(c)3 in 2000. Now in our 15th Season, Synchronicity is led by Producing Artistic Director Rachel May and Managing Director Dee Sandt. Each year we produce two plays in our Bold Voices Series and two plays in our Family Series. We present our ongoing award-winning Playmaking for Girls program with girls in the juvenile justice system. Finally, the company is committed to developing new work, primarily by female playwrights, which we do through new play commissions, ensemble-created plays, national joint world premieres and our bi-annual SheWrites competition and new play festival for female playwrights. More about Synchronicity at www.synchrotheatre.com.
What is a Co-Production?
Peter Pan and Wendy is a co-production of Aurora and Synchronicity Theatres. What is a co-production? Well we’re glad you asked. A co-production (or ‘co-pro’) is when two (or more) theatres come together to share the work of creating a play, and then share it with the audiences in different geographic areas.
