Do you believe in monsters under the bed? How about monsters in your head?
Kid, the nameless protagonist of this poignant, dramatic one act, struggles with both as their bottled emotions come to life in the form of monsters that appear in the middle of the night. These eight monsters — including Depression, Anxiety, Change, Failure, and Envy — refuse to leave Kid alone. Demanding attention after the recent loss of Kid’s sister, they teach Kid that simply ignoring their emotions and issues is not effective. As Kid is forced to deal with these monsters, they learn how emotions and issues feed off of each other, yet can also be processed more positively as growth opportunities.
This show has no boundaries on gender and lends itself to creative costuming and staging, making it highly accessible for middle and high school students to learn more about dealing with their often conflicting emotions. Neither preachy nor too heavy, this short play won’t frighten teens away from talking about mental health and emotional growth.
