Begets: Fall of a High School Ronin
This action-packed samurai story, set inside the halls of an all-American high school, tells the tale of Emi Edwards, a high school geekgurl fighting to overthrow the cruel shoguns of her school. But will Emi's own cravings for popularity and power corrupt her quest to save the school? Will she be able to establish a new world order? Or will violence just beget more violence?
​
Whether you’re an experienced performer, a behind-the-scenes enthusiast, or brand new to the stage, you’ll collaborate with a professional production team to bring this action-packed, electrifying play by Qui Nguyen, author of She Kills Monsters and Raya and the Last Dragon, to life in a full-scale production.
