Here I Am
It's the addicting whimsical mayhem that comes hand in hand with modern technology. It’s about obsession. It’s about finding the joy people share on their screens. It’s about losing everything… then, somehow, finding a way back. And why.
HERE I AM is an original musical with a fiercely contemporary edge focused on technology and how it rules our world… and relationships. And us.
Focus.
Follow us… down.
“Here I Am is a musical about connection, most importantly, connection in an age of instant gratifications. No one is perfect and we are all just trying our best… Will that ever be enough?”
Samantha Roberts (Co-Creator)
"Here I am gives us an inside look into the difficulties of forming and maintaining relationships in an age of social media dependency. Who we are as people vs how we present ourselves online are two different modified versions of our true authentic self. This show explores who we are now and who we want to be, with all the faults and flaws that come along with growing up in your young adulthood years."
-Lauren Lyons
"This show is important because our world is so invested in social media. Here I Am shows us what happens if we are too involved in our own goals and wants. We are reminded that everyone is redeemable if we open our view point to what is outside our myopic views and welcome in love and understanding. I love this show because of the fun dynamic of the characters and playing Camryn is a fun reach outside my own experiences and I enjoy playing opposite of how I would act in my everyday life. "
-Alexia Correa
"Here I Am offers a perspective of how a woman confronts herself in where her priorities lie through the age of social media and how love and deception of a social network facade impacts her decision-making. Experience a woman reach her downfall only to discover she needs to speak for herself and find a way out of the trench that was dug by guilt, manipulation, and societal standards."
-Francesca Panzara
