An electrifying new play that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats
When a student challenges the film selections in her class, Emma—a film criticism professor and film producer—is forced to confront her past. As long-buried guilt resurfaces over a decision she made as an emerging filmmaker back in 1999, Emma finds herself questioning the very foundation of her career. How do we reckon with the films we once revered in the light of Hollywood's reckoning with the Me Too Movement? And what responsibility does an educator bear in shaping the minds, systems, and morals that allow our next generation to thrive?
In this highly anticipated world premiere, playwright Stacey Isom Campbell and director Genée Coreno deliver a powerful story of artistic legacy, personal accountability, and the complex collision between love, loyalty, and justice.
1999—a 2025 Eugene O’Neill Theater Center and Modern New Works Festival Finalist—is a bold, timely drama exploring creative friendships, moral courage, and the high stakes of silence. When the past catches up, can one woman’s choices shift an institution—or will everything she’s built go up in flames?
