You Are Not Alone.

A play about three friends at a catholic boarding school who experience gay porn, love, and isolation, and ask themselves what it means to truly be alone.

You Are Not Alone was originally produced for the Paprika Festival, a ground breaking youth-led
performing arts festival based in Toronto. Our cast and crew is comprised of current students and
recent graduates of Rosedale Heights School of the Arts, a multidisciplinary arts school located in
the heart of Toronto. As hopelessly broke and thoroughly busy teenagers, we exploited many
unique rehearsa

l spaces ranging from bedrooms, to parking lots. In an intensive two month
period, our playwright and cast collectively crafted You Are Not Alone, completing its first draft
one week before the show’s premiere. You Are Not Alone was written by youth, for youth, and about youth. In an age in which adolescence is so often romanticized and misrepresented, our goal was to genuinely portray what it means to be gay in generation Z.

After 6 months of working and reworking, 2 festivals, 1 noise complaint, and so many pudding cups we are done with You Are Not Alone. This is a bittersweet moment for us: we loved the process and each other but we knew all great experiences had to end. Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout this process, it has certainly been such a great time for us. Being a pivotal point in all our lives, this story hit home for us. This may be the end of YANA's journey, but we will always keep it with us. Again, thank you for making us feel like we Are Not Alone.
