What your kids won't tell you...
"Bathroom Monster, Weed Dealer, and Beth" is an original children's play, developed by Clarion's Theater students— Nola Jesenko, Joyce Tang and Margaret Chan.
Bathroom Monster, Weed Dealer and Beth is a completely original, deadpan satire. The conflicts of illegal drug use and friendship are mixed with outlandish imagination on what can come out of the dubious condition of a high school bathroom!
It is a heartfelt story about two best friends who find themselves entangled in a strange murder mystery. As they try to catch the murderer, a shocking secret is revealed that makes them doubt if they are friends anymore.
Will their friendship get past this challenge?
The play was premiered on May 14 and 15, 2022. The audience expressed their adoration of the actors and their ability to enact the characters. Particularly, they were impressed with the nuance and complexity with which the actors built each character.
Clarion's Theater Program gave creative agency to the students themselves by trusting them with the process and helping them find their own creative voice. This was voiced by audience members who said "Chinatown kids have never been liberated and supported in exploring their creative talent, not to the same extent as Clarion allowed."
