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.
