The award-winning Mosaic Theatre. Plantation, Florida, the professional theater-in-residence at American Heritage School in West Broward.
Has just announced the STOP! THE VIOLENCE video contest for high school students to coincide with their World Premiere of A Measure of Cruelty, an original play they commissioned by famed playwright Joe Calarco. A Measure of Cruelty (April 19-May 13) is inspired by actual events of 2009 where a 15 year old boy was doused with rubbing alcohol and set on fire by four teenagers, a tragic event that impacted South Florida’s local community and touched a nerve in our nation’s conscience. This important production addresses the ongoing problems of teen violence and bullying which continue to make national headlines.
The Stop! The Violence Video Contest encourages students to stand up and express their feelings about the increasing problem of bullying. The flyer can be found on the Forms and Docs page of our class website. You can participate, individually or in groups.
