Nap the Play
United States Festival Tour
Nap the Play completed a national summer tour, which wound through Hollywood, Calif.; Flagstaff, Ariz.; New York City; Kansas City, Kan.; Boulder, Colo.; and Chicago, Ill.
The story follows high schooler Sofia, who despite perfect appearances, struggles with her mental health as her innermost thoughts are revealed through the pages in her diary. Sofia’s ultimate suicide leaves her family and friends grappling with her sudden loss.
Step inside a life size journal and follow the pages of one suicidal teen’s journey as she makes her way through the incidents preceding her death. The mind of modern adolescence is explored through a multimedia experience (home videos, an original score, 6 foot tall journal pages, and life size doll stands). A group of 18-23 year old artists partnered with 8 suicide prevention organizations to create an eye opening theatrical experience with a core of activism.

The Morning Insiders heard about a unique program starting in Chicago on Wednesday. It’s a theatrical production designed to prevent suicide. CBS 2’s Lauren Victory went behind the scenes of this potentially life-saving play.
