College Mainstage Play
As a foreign war correspondent, Marina has put her life on the line to illuminate the darkest corners of humanity. Having just returned from a particularly bloody conflict, she flirts with staying home for good – alongside her cameraman turned lover. With her closest friends and family gathered on the eve of her lifetime achievement award ceremony, she decides to cap this glorious moment with an elopement. But as Marina tries to take hold of her life, she’s forced to reckon with the grip that war has held on her. Til Death premiered off-Broadway, under the title Breaking the Story, commissioned by Second Stage Theatre in 2024. NWSA presents a newly revised version of the play by Scheer, an alumna of NWSA high school theater.  Content Advisory: This production contains theatrical haze, flashing lights, mature themes, and language, including war violence and post-traumatic stress disorder. Ages 12 and up.
