ACTING (remount)
"EYES CLOSED"
Facilitated and directed by Jay Torrence
In the city of Chicago, America's murder capital, where funerals are as common as high school graduates, a group of Chicago high school students attend a party where they learn their lives are intertwined by a violent turn of events. This collection of scenes reveals how violence can be traced back to the individual choices we make.
"HEADLINES"
Facilitated and directed by Scott Westerman
This play follows eleven students from one Chicago south side public school through one week of life as they deal with the reality of violence and intolerance that have, unfortunately, become more commonplace for American teens than should be the case. These themes are presented through comedy, tragedy, stage combat, comedy, Hip Hop, dance, rap, and comedy.

This new musical about the first anniversary of a high school student's death wonderfully displays the students' skills and talents that they have honed over four years of rigorous musical theatre training.
