Attitudes toward race, age, gender, and the disabled are all examined. All of us, regardless of our differences, are essentially the same. We are all only human. Over the past several years, Tremper has been the site of several isolated incidents of racial tension which received widespread media attention, Parker said. According to Parker, the play is a chance for Tremper students to take a public stand against prejudice and bigotry.
Kids reach out to kids with the message of kindness and acceptance is what it's all about.
The play's set, designed by cast members, visually illustrates the conflict created in intolerance. A jagged, glowing red line separates a stage painted half back and half white, Parker said. A talk-back with cast members and representatives of the Coalition for Dismantling Racism will be offered at the conclusion of each performance.
