New Light Theater Project will present the world premiere of Michelle Kholos Brooks' Room 1214 November 15–December 8 at 59E59 Theaters Off-Broadway.
Directed by Sarah Norris, the docudrama will officially open November 21 at Theater B.

Inspired by interviews with a history teacher who experienced the 2018 tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the play follows her return to the school to teach one final lesson, asking what if you could rewrite history? She reunites with her students as they were—playful, funny, and full of life and potential.
The upcoming production will feature scenic design by Daniel Allen, costume design by Kara Branch, lighting design by Elaine Wong, sound design by Jennie Gorn, projection design by the Roly Polys (Jan Bentley and Andy Evan Cohen), prop design by Caitlyn Murphy, and assistant direction and choreography by Georgia Reichard, with Krista Grevas as wardrobe supervisor.
Olivia Fletcher will serve as production stage manager with Cat Copeland as assistant stage manager.
Room 1214 contains strong language, gun violence, and discussion of school shootings and child death.
