The Best I Can Be

Elementary School

Grades 4-6

The Best I Can Be is an interactive theatre piece about the lives of 6

young people who, in addition to going through different stages of

puberty, are also dealing with crushes, divorce, anxiety, health issues

and family issues. The initial show is a kick off for a 6 session follow up

series where students watch focused scenarios and have in-depth

discussions about puberty, reproductive anatomy, gender and sexuality,

sexual abuse, bullying, HIV and negotiation and communication. The

STAR series for 5th and 6th graders creates a safe space to encourage

young people to live their most authentic lives by answering their

questions and concerns about growing up.

That's Not Me

Middle School

Grades 7-8

That’s Not Me is STAR’s show for 7th and 8th graders.  The characters

in the show have been assigned a project about healthy decision-

making and through their personal video diaries, we get to peek into their

personal struggles while they navigate the challenges of middle school.

Typical of this age group, they show one face to their peers while they

have deep feelings hidden beneath the surface that cause stress and

anxiety.  The show deals with relationships, puberty, reproductive

health, negotiation, communication, bullying, inclusion/ exclusion,

gender, sexuality, drugs, alcohol, vaping and social media. As the

characters make choices, the student audience then gets to respond

and reflect with them in a facilitated conversation after the show.

#overload

High School

Grades 9-12

#overload takes a closer look at how adolescence and decision making

are complicated with the addition of social media. It explores how one

 "quick click" can have lasting effects.  Targeted to high school

audiences, themes include: sexual decision making, teen pregnancy

and parenting, relationship dynamics, gender, sexuality, condom

negotiation, affirmative consent, cyber bullying, social media, gossip,

anxiety, STIs, and HIV/AIDS.
