Feeling All The Feelings

Feeling All The Feelings introduces us to Laila, a 10-year-old girl who feels feelings so big, in fact, that she suspects they might be too big in other people’s eyes. She comes up with a way to express her emotions that seems to make everyone else happy. But will it work for her? This is a funny, emotional, interactive one-person play starring and written by Lynne Streeter Childress. Building Better People Productions explores the enormous range of kids’ emotions, the pressure they feel to be accepted, and the awesomeness that comes from feeling all of your feelings. Our play was written with the input of professionals in child mental and physical health. It runs 40 minutes and is followed by a 15-minute post-show workshop. FATF was directed by DC-area director Danielle Drakes. The costumes are by Stefany Thomas, logo by Darin Gilliam, and press photos by Rissa Miller.
