What they say about the play- These one-act plays are timely and powerful examinations of social media's impact on teen culture, and the pressures that our students are grappling with today. It is our hope that these plays will spark constructive conversations with friends, teachers, advisors and families.

What they say about the play- The play has a lesson for us all in more ways than one and at times makes for uncomfortable viewing, not least of all in the acknowledgment of just how mean one human being can be to another; made all the easier through modern technology.
