Box Office

TRIGGER WARNING is a new musical that deals frankly with the struggles and stresses of life in high school in 2020. The story is about a high school teen (Phoenix) and the circle of students around him, including his overachieving sister Wynne, his idol Davis, his gal pals Ronda and Jaynee, and a new girl, Tempest, who comes between him and his best friend, Cody. The musical opens at a funeral, at which Phoenix is delivering the eulogy. Which of his friends is dead and why? Trigger Warning answers this question while exploring current themes, such as internet pressure, vaping, addiction, self-harm, teen suicide and what is appropriate behavior between young men and women. Told primarily in song, Trigger Warning is thought-provoking and educational as well as entertaining. Innovative use of social media on stage (with projections that will show us the character’s phone screens and texted conversations) will be incorporated to tell this timely story.

While we believe these issues to be contemporary, this is a dramatic interpretation of these issues. The mature themes and content in this musical may not be appropriate for all students. We recommend parents discuss the nature of this musical with their daughters before students purchase tickets and attend the show. As always, school counselors are available to meet with Presentation students if they need any support. We will also host "talkbacks" after a few of the shows to engage the audience in this sensitive but important material.

Due to some mature themes and content, Trigger Warning is generally not suitable for younger, less-mature audience members. We rate this production PG-13, and suggest only high-school aged students and adults attend.
