Cultural Art Assembly
Schedule for 2009-20010
On Tuesday, October 20th the 6th Graders will be attending an assembly
called "“You Don’t Know Me Till You Know Me” by Michael Fowlin. This is a
one-person show that deals with the issues of race, discrimination, violence
prevention, personal identity, suicide, gender equity, homophobia, and the
emotional pain felt by special education children. In a gripping, fast paced,
75-minute performance, Michael Fowlin slips in and out of nine characters,
both male and female, who "share their stories." The characters share their
stories in an often humorous, but at times, heartbreaking manner.
On Monday, November 2nd the 7th graders will be attending an assembly
called "IRL:In Real Life" by the George Street Playhouse. When two students
find their feud surfacing on friends' cell phones, e-mails and the internet,
insecurity, fear and humiliation surrouns their every move. From shared
texts, exploited secret photos and threatening online conversations, cyber-
bullying reaches every facet of the students' lives and leads to consequences
everyone needs to face.
