Auditorum Performances

Coming soon in March 2010...

"IN MY SKIN" (for Grades 9 to 12)
It's not the stars that cross this young pair, but the outdated notions of their well-meaning family and friends.
In a world that only wishes to define people by what they are instead of who they are, Mimi and Shane seek to find the space to love themselves, their families, and maybe each other. "In My Skin" is ENACT's newest play on diversity and self-acceptance. This performance piece is a lesson in tolerance, self-esteem, independent thinking, and empathy. Approximately 45 minutes; for up to 200 students.

For schools or community organizations looking for a simple way to introduce ENACT principles and techniques, we have developed several auditorium performance pieces that focus on making positive life choices. These performances reflect true-life situations to which students can relate, and are followed by a facilitated discussion. All are presented by professional actors who are highly trained in the ENACT method.

"COOKED" (for Grades 7 to 12)
How far would you go to get a new pair of kicks?
“Cooked” chronicles the downward spiral of one student who just wants a pair of name-brand sneakers to fit in. This piece explores themes of self-esteem, peer pressure, poverty, violence, personal ethics, and family values. Approximately 55 minutes; for up to 200 students.

 

"2:45" (for Grades 4 to 8)
How hard could it possibly be to make it through the day without getting into trouble?
“2:45” portrays the pressures of school that too often sidetrack students, not always willingly. Addressing issues like bullying and peer pressure, ENACT actors present conflict situations that require self-awareness, responsible decision-making, critical thinking, and positive communication. Approximately 45 minutes; for up to 200 students.

 

"A DAY IN THE LIFE" (for Grades K to 3)
“It’s everyone else’s fault except mine!”
“A Day In The Life” is an interactive dramatization of a day in the life of an elementary school student trying to do the “right thing.” This humorous piece is an entertaining introduction to personal choice and responsibility, positive communication, and self-management to younger audiences. Approximately 45 minutes; for up to 100 students per performance.
