An extremely moving addition to the wonderful and worthwhile project. The performers come from different backgrounds and experiences and all show that it does get better after being bullied, for being gay or dark-skinned or fat or doing ballet. And they show that you can use your humor and your talent to keep yourself strong and come out triumphant in many different was: happy, powerful, partnered, a parent, on Broadway.
Seven minutes that really show the resiliency of the human spirit as experienced in the lives of young performers.
Watch them all, but if you love theater, this one will speak to you.

Laughter is much more important than applause. Applause is almost a duty. Laughter is a reward.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
