Project Spotlight, UCF’s only student developmental theatre organization, presents a new play by student Hudson Cosgrove-Naftal.

What happens when you put yourself under the microscope of the public eye while wearing a mask? Irreverent is a love letter to all the neurodivergent people who are learning to be unapologetically themselves.

This student-run organization is dedicated to giving all majors a chance to take part in productions and to developing new works through One Act Festivals, Ten Minute Play Competitions and UCF Celebrates the Arts.
