A series of plays developed for teenagers, Marvel Spotlight explores the humans behind the Marvel franchise's favorite Super Heroes as they balance mastering their newfound powers while facing the real-world challenges of young adults.

Of the three Marvel Spotlight plays available to produce, Laguna Playhouse chose Hammered: A Thor & Loki Play and Mirror of Most Value: A Ms. Marvel Play.

​

In Hammered, Thor struggles with the stress of final exams, and his brother Loki finds himself under a different sort of pressure. Neither are beneath pranks in the endless competition for their parents’ favor. But underneath all the thunder and mischief, these two Princes of Asgard discover a bond that will last millennia.

​

In Mirror of Most Value, Kamala (masquerading as Ms. Marvel) attempts to boost her fledgling super hero profile by writing her own fan fiction. But when building a fandom becomes an obsession, Kamala’s schoolwork and relationships begin to suffer. To become the Jersey City hero of her dreams, Kamala must learn to accept herself just as she is – imperfections and all.
