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 TV special 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.
