The Danger of Hope

A Stage Play by Morgan Breon

The Danger of Hope  (formerly THE W.I.T.CH.) is a one-person stage play showing the joys, pains, and struggles of Ms. Morgan, a newly hired Behavior Specialist at a Detroit public high school. When hope begins to crack open her students’ hearts and minds, Ms. Morgan’s office might just be the most dangerous room in the entire school.

 

Featuring Morgan Breon in a tour de force role as she portrays an array of characters in the public school setting including: a behavior specialist, students, teachers and administrators.  ​

*This play, formerly titled THE W.I.T.CH., was originally produced on April 28, 2021 at Theatre NOVA in Ann Arbor, MI.
