One Final Performance Of ‘The Bully Plays’ Tonight At Tate HS

April 9, 2016

The Tate High School Drama Department will present on final performance of “The Bully Plays” at 7:00 in the school cafetorium. Tickets will be sold at the door for $5.

The Bully Plays was commissioned in response to the growing epidemic of bullying and the all-too-often tragic results. The anthology includes 10-minute plays that are touching, imaginative, powerful, uplifting and funny. A botched chemistry experiment creates a horde of homophobic teenage zombie bullies. Three dinosaurs at a museum surprise three bickering kids on a school outing. A bully is forced to confront his victim “on the other side.” A girl on an anti-bullying crusade must face her own bullying. High-school kids discuss the heartbreak of realizing they contributed to a classmate’s death by remaining bystanders. A mother and brother try to come to terms with the suicide of their “technicolor” son and brother.

The trickle-down effect of bullying is explored in several plays, along with the dangers of cyber-bullying.
