About Alone, Together
March 2020. As California entered a “stay at home” order due to the coronavirus pandemic, UC Santa Barbara’s LAUNCH PAD commissioned 24 distinguished playwrights to pen monologues and short plays inspired by the prompt “Alone, Together.” These were written to be performed live on Zoom. The immediate goal was to create vibrant opportunities for theatre students during the challenging moment when in-person productions at all schools and theaters across the country were canceled and everyone quickly pivoted to remote learning. The plays accomplished that—and so much more. These 39 extraordinary pieces reflect the moment of lockdown and capture our longing for connection. For the NLRHS Theatre Arts Department's production, we will perform 8 of the 39 pieces, because of the content matter and length of the show.
