UGA Theatre: I'm Here

2026 New Georgia Group Award winner Calista Johnson's I’m Here is a haunting new play about memory, trauma, and the fragile bonds that shape us. After giving birth under mysterious circumstances, nineteen-year-old Evelyn finds herself unable to move — and unable to find her missing child. As fragments of her past begin to surface, Evelyn is forced to confront the relationships and experiences that brought her to this moment, from a fractured home life to a formative teenage romance. Blending psychological mystery with intimate human drama, I’m Here explores the cyclical nature of trauma and asks what it truly means to be there for someone else when it matters most.
