Why Teach The Right Now?
At first glance, The Right Now looks like a sci-fi story about a time loop. But underneath, it’s something much more profound: a raw and thoughtful exploration of how young people experience loss, isolation, and the longing to move forward—when time itself refuses to cooperate. The play follows two teens, Asher and Saicha, as they navigate a Monday that keeps repeating… and the deeper emotional patterns they must confront to break free.
Blending quiet science fiction with emotional realism, The Right Now is a fantastic choice for high school theater programs and literature classes, sparking meaningful discussions about memory, healing, and what it means to be truly present.
