TEEN SUICIDE IN THE CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN MUSICAL!
A musical thesis presentation!
TODAY
5-6pm
The Bentley Theater
Free Admission!!
Focused upon a detailed analysis of the musicals Spring Awakening, Dear Evan Hansen, and Heathers: The Musical, Matthew Treiber '18 argues that the suicidal characters in each musical suffer from emotions of low self-worth and isolation rooted in mental health struggles. Treiber takes note of the psychosocial context surrounding the characters’ medical diagnoses and preexisting suicidal tendencies, and analyzes the aftermath of the suicides. The goal of this presentation is to trace trends in the causes of teen suicide as they appear on Broadway, stressing the power the platform holds in representing mental unhealth. An Honors Thesis presentation.
