Seeing an opportunity to use the arts for social good, Executive Director Priscilla Khong and Artistic Director Samantha Scott-Blackhall joined forces under their company, Gateway Arts, to produce plays about the issues that trouble young people most: social anxiety, bullying, expectations, academic pressure, depression, body image, and peer pressure, to name a few. These productions peel away the layers of fear and insecurity that hold young people back from their confident selves, with a mission to make them feel seen and understood. Each show is followed by an intentional post-show dialogues to unpack difficult topics and connect audiences with helplines. Using the immersive power of theatre to both entertain and heal, Gateway Arts is holding space for the next generation.
