How will social studies teach students about the year 2020 in the future? What crazy new inventions will exist? Will we find some racial justice?

TCNJ’s Lyric Theatre wrote and performs the script.  When we last visited our TCNJ Lyric crew, they were exploring the present as seen through the weirdness of Covid life. Now, we take a stroll down memory lane. 

This pandemic has us all going a little insane. Join Lyric Theatre's cast as they explore the weirdness that is Zoom university, isolation and strange dreams in 2020.
