SYNOPSIS:
What happens when an “innocent” picture with your favorite teacher turns into the biggest scandal the school has ever seen? When all of the people you thought you could trust seem to be the ones who started the rumor? And the only person willing to help you is your former best friend turned antagonist? How much does the truth really matter when everyone is convinced that you’re an attention seeking liar? In the girls’ bathroom of a nondescript suburban high school, five teenagers are forced to reckon with their past as it begins to bleed into what they hope for their future, all while navigating conflict of Greek tragic proportions. Narrated by a teenage Greek chorus of band geeks, cheerleaders, goths, skaters, jocks, and everything in between, Meet Me in the Bathroom gets at the heart of what it means to be a teenager and watch everything you’ve known fall apart around you.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION:
At Moonbox, we believe that the stories we tell are important. They sustain and preserve our community, our history, and our values. Telling racially diverse stories allows us not only to reflect – but also to reflect on – the complexities of our past. When we join together in the act of storytelling, we are united in ways that transcend the everyday. Together, we can use the power of storytelling to honor our commonalities, celebrate our differences, and address historical discrimination and injustice. We pledge to take this power seriously, and to use our voices and the stories we tell to dismantle the systemic racism and white supremacy engulfing our culture, our country, and our industry .We believe in creating spaces that reflect the diversity of our shared community, both on and off the stage, where under-represented voices, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and people living with disabilities feel valued and important. We believe that accessibility is a human right. We are devoted to providing performances and work spaces that can be experienced and enjoyed universally, and to incorporating accessibility planning into our production, design, staffing, and budgeting processes from day one.
