Meet the Kids is a powerful coming-of-age play that amplifies the voices of four teenagers -a rapper, a poet, a vulnerable girl and an overachiever – navigating identity, grief, faith, and peer pressure within the confines of school and everyday life. As they face challenges at home, in the classroom, and with peers, these young people confront the expectations placed on them – by others and by themselves – and learn what it truly means to be heard.

For these kids, school isn’t about surviving exams – it’s about surviving life. Raw, honest, and deeply human, Meet the Kids invites audiences to listen closely to voices we too often ignore, celebrating resilience, courage, and the power of speaking out.

Meet Quincy, Angelique, Billie-Jo, and Jessica as they fight to reclaim their voices in a world determined to silence them.

There will be a post show Q&A with cast and creative team on the 6th & 11th June
