During an election campaign at a local school, noted for turning out well known political graduates, three candidates with three strong individual platforms set the stage for a grueling and highly competitive campaign, with an exciting twist to the story's ending.
Will Sabrina archer, our 21st century "Joan of Arc" candidate, and her "dare to be different" beliefs and ideas, prevail in the challenge against her two rivals? Will hard nose Tess Williamson, incumbent, and the most popular girl in school maintain her stronghold? Or will Dirk Kirkwood, wild card and rebel with tons of causes, convince everyone that he is the candidate to elect? Within the framework of an election, these main characters, express their concerns regarding harassment, bullying and tolerance.
"This Production is a great way to get to the problems in our schools these days that we face such as the points demonstrated in the play like bullying, calling each other names and violence."
Grade 6 Student Durham, ON
"It dealt with issues of bullying and harassment and delivered a powerful message about making positive choices. It served as a springboard for many discussions and language activities in the classroom."
