“Make Believe” by Bess Wohl explores the lasting impact of childhood trauma.

The story follows four children who continue playing in their attic after their parents abandon them, and the impact it had on them 30 years later as adults.

Due to the content, the play is recommended for adults. High school teens may attend at their parents’ or guardians’ discretion.

The resource fair is free and open to everyone.

Attendees must buy tickets for the play. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students.

You can also buy general admission tickets online (with additional fees) for $17.08 for adults and $11.90 for students.
