The play was put on by CSU students for the visiting BRAINY participants called Choose Your Life. It focuses on four characters who learn about bullying and how to stop it by playing a gameshow. Two students are bullying their classmates, pushing and insulting them every day. One day, they are interrupted by a magical game show host, who has them reenact their actions to learn about bullying.
The play is interactive, giving students the opportunity to suggest how the characters should stand up to bullies. Students shout along with the game show host and learn about bullying in the process.
Each character gets the chance to choose how their life goes. They use techniques taught to them by the game show host to combat bullying.
This play teaches students to look at a situation from a variety of perspectives. The bully, the target and the bystander get the opportunity to learn and change over the course of the play.
Students leave this play with a clear understanding of how to stand up for themselves and others, and they enjoy watching a play that they are allowed to participate in.
