Can 10 seconds change your life? In the thought-provoking play 10 Seconds by Miriam Gonzales, directed by LeeAnét Noble, two young Black high schoolers tell the story of a police encounter they’ll never forget. Produced by Imagination Stage, throughout this interactive performance, students are asked to pause, reflect, discuss, question their assumptions and consider the possibilities for change. They’ll explore biases, misperceptions and how life can change in the blink of an eye.
