Theatre@First is proud to present
The Bully Plays
an anthology of short works
edited by Linda Habjan
directed by Jeanné Callinan
October 23rd & 24th at 7pm
The Somerville Theatre
55 Davis Square, Somerville
For tickets and more info, visit http://www.theatreatfirst.org
Half of proceeds to benefit The Center for Teen Empowerment <http://teenempowerment.org> and support their anti-bullying work in our communities.
In ten short pieces, Callinan’s talented cast explores bullying from many different perspectives including the victims, the bystanders, the families, and the bullies themselves. From classrooms to living rooms, from crowded hallways to the isolation of social media, The Bully Plays illustrates many facets of bullying, and the insidious ways it creeps into our lives. It’s a serious—even life-threatening—subject, but The Bully Plays balances the tragic, the humorous, and the heart-warming as it illuminates ways that we can all break the patterns of bullying and let everyone know that no one is alone.
Join us for Q&A with the cast and director after each performance. Licensed counselors will be available for anyone who needs to talk during or after the show.
And check out the Anti-Bullying PSA filmed by the cast & crew of the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUxX_T7IjU8
