Shirt Powers is suggested for middle school and above

Labels. Everyone has one. Some are stereotypical. Others are unique. But nearly all are formed by someone else’s opinion. The question is who really has the power to define who you are?

Shirt Powers is a one-act comedy by actress and playwright Lisa Cripps-Downey that explores this very question. Six characters meet unexpectedly not knowing where they are or how they got there. More importantly, the only clues they have to go on to solve the mystery are – quite literally – the shirts on their back. Each wears a plain white t-shirt with a word or phrase that sparks discussion about their identities. And it’s through that discussion we discover the real difference between what people see and who we really are.
