Below are our details for our High School show, for details of our Primary School show please scroll down.
Touring to WA Schools in Term 3!
Suitable for school Years 7-12.
Show Synopsis:
“Be like this! Do that! Act this way! Our teens are bombarded with these messages from every direction from Friends, TV and Social Media. It’s easy to play along when it comes to alcohol, relationships and choosing friends, but what’s the cost? On the other hand, choosing to be different can cause isolation and ridicule.
“Up Against The Wall” is a new and exciting show that tells the stories of real Western Australian Teenagers who are facing these messages. Our team uses a dramatic exploration of Peer-Pressure to equip your students with the tools to respect themselves and others, as well as empowering them to speak up about how they feel. The Primary themes of this impacting play are Peer Pressure, Respect for Others, making Positive Choices and Resilience.”
