US/THEM by Carly Wijs


Bath House Cultural Center

US/THEM is inspired by the Beslan School Siege in 2004, when armed Chechen rebels stormed a school in Russia, taking hostage over 1,100 students, parents, and teachers. It ended three days later with 700 people injured and 334 people dead; 186 of them children.

​Us/Them is a haunting, surprising, always captivating account of the siege as told by two young hostage students.

It offers a child's understanding of coping with trauma and why people commit unthinkable acts.

​Mature Themes. Adults and Students 13+

​Carly Wijs wrote this play to start a conversation about a challenging topic. Let's talk in the safe space of the theater.

​Each performance will offer a post-show discussion led by a licensed trauma counselor from Centene Corporation.
