Based on an idea from Walbrook High School Baltimore, Maryland as seen on CBS 60 Minutes June 2003.

Two teams square off in a series of hotly contested debates. They will debate some of today's most topical youth and teen related issues; Drug Awareness, Youth and the Law, Self-esteem, Conflict Resolution, Anti-violence and Tolerance.

Much of the story will focus on the trials & tribulations of a Community Police Officer and an apprentice teacher, both eager to inspire and teach their students something valuable...positive lessons of determination and resolve that will last a lifetime. This in turn leads to a new found mutual respect not only between mentors and students but between classmates as well.

As for the outcome of the final debate, it turns out that the desire to win is only half the battle. The other half is learning to accept the outcome, whatever it may be.

 

 " The Most important thing that the play taught us is that to always believe in yourself and not what other people say about you."                       

Grade 7 Students, Father Francis Mahoney

" The messages conveyed in this show were highly relevant to the experiences of our children both at school and in the community."

Mr. Camozzi, Principal Father Francis Mahoney

" The message of the performance was clear and opened the eyes and ears of the audience. It gave us important facts on drugs, peer pressure and the law."
