Behind the Scenes
How On Sight is Changing the Conversation on Gun Violence and Mental Health
Gun violence is a leading cause of death among children and youth. On Sight is a groundbreaking performance intervention, solo play, and feature film that addresses youth gun violence and mental health. Written, performed, and produced by UCLA’s Dr. Micah Johnson, On Sight is a soul-shifting experience. It uses humor, raw emotion, and street culture to deliver a masterclass in conflict and stress management. “On Sight is Dr. Johnson’s masterpiece, delivering the perfect fusion of high-quality science, writing, pedagogy, and performance.” The show blends comedy, drama, education, and healing to explore stress, conflict, and emotional wellness through storytelling and science.
Why does Dr. Micah Johnson use solo plays and performances for youth gun violence prevention and mental health solutions?
UCLA’s Dr. Micah Johnson developed the performance intervention model that he calls the “gummy vitamin”—taking the medicine and putting it into a format that is digestible, enjoyable, and fun. This means transforming research-backed content on mental health, stress management, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and overall wellness into a format rooted in culture and creativity—funny, real, raw, entertaining, moving, and artistic. On Sight tackles the urgent issues of youth gun violence and mental health using comedy, dramatic acting, raw emotion, youth culture, and street culture to connect directly with the communities most impacted. This is not a lecture, not a traditional play, and not just a comedy show—it is all of those things and more, blended into something completely unique.
