2017-2018 Touring Show:

Above Between Below
By Ramón Esquivel 

Above, Below, Between is a touring play for middle school audiences that examines the consequences of bullying. The work allows young people to observe the shifting status between the bully, bystander or victim depending on circumstances. Following each show students will have an opportunity to participate in a discussion with the cast aimed to spark further conversation about how conflicts emerge and to brainstorm positive alternatives and outcomes. 

This production is designed to perform in an assembly like setting for audiences of up to 300 students.
