St. Anthony’s kids learn about bullying through theatre
February 6th, 2010 at Sat, 6th, 2010 at 7:00 am by Celeste GraceyStudents at St. Anthony’s learned about bullying through a Taproot Theatre production Wednesday.
I had the opportunity to visit and watch the play, and there is a full story in the Lifestyles section.
The troupe kept on message about how to handle being bullied and how not to lash back. As it turns out, it was a small part of the many things they do to prevent bullying at St. Anthony’s.
I was also impressed by how well the actors did. They’re all pretty young and work exclusively in the traveling group.
I asked them if they had been bullied as kids, and they all said they were either bullied or the object of a terrible gossip scene.
Here are some pictures that didn’t make the Web site, but I think are worth sharing.
Kiana Manzano, age 6, watches the play Super School by the Taproot Theatre Roady Company at St. Anthony's School. The actors taught students about bullying and how to prevent it.
