Sigh/Omelas
A live one man show – Written and Performed by Steve Kidd
Steve Kidd drew inspiration for his play from the stories of the young individuals he encountered and guided at Camp AmeriKids, a free summer camp in upstate NY for children living with AIDS/HIV. These stories, filled with themes of love, longing and loss, are intertwined with a short story by renowned sci-fi writer Ursula K. LeGuin, called “The Ones who Walk Away from Omelas.”
Since his first performance of the show in 2001, Steve Kidd has won the Lewis Hine Award in 2008 for dedicated work on behalf of children in need and performed it well over 1,000 times for schools, colleges, friends, interested citizens and anyone who wants to hear it. To him, it is a joy to share these memories and stories of children whose lives were cut short by the HIV virus.
