Theatre entertains. Sometimes, at its greatest potential, theatre also heals.
La Costa Canyon High School's Theatre Department performed “A Monster Calls,” a theatrical showcase of live music, shadow work, and incredible acting and dancing.
“A Monster Calls” told the tragically beautiful story of a boy named Conor and his challenging process of coming to terms with his mother’s struggle and eventual passing from cancer.
The impact was palpable in the theater. For many in the audience, the show provided a cathartic opportunity to heal from the loss of their loved ones.
However, the impact of "A Monster Calls" continued onward into the summer of 2024 - because of the show’s philanthropic connection to Camp Kesem. LCC's Theatre Department donated a portion of their proceeds, totaling $2,087.64, to Camp Kesem.
