TELL

Tell is a Theatre for Dialogue program for ages 7-10. This interactive program invites young people to become agents of change in their own lives. This program is based on the foundational principle that adults have the responsibility to keep young people safe, and that young people have the right to ask for help from adults.  In this program, young audiences begin thinking critically about the concept of physical boundaries and what to do if someone crosses those boundaries.  Audiences lead characters their own age through telling an adult if their boundaries are crossed, and encouraging characters to continue telling until an adult helps keep them safe.

Through Tell, young people are beginning to think about what their own boundaries are, who they might tell in their own lives if someone crosses their physical boundaries, and practicing what it feels like to be an ally to a survivor of violence.

Tell premiered in the 2015 Cohen New Works Festival at the University of Texas at Austin, in April. For more information about the festival, visit: NewWorksFestival.org
