This effective prevention program promotes discussion on sensitive topics, models positive behaviors and coping skills, and provides practice using effective communication and resistance skills. The Theatre Troupe/ Peer Education Project provide presentations on topics of concern to youth such as substance abuse, tobacco use, HIV/STI, depression and dating violence.  Audience members include young people in traditional as well as alternative educational settings, community centers and residential programs.  

Trained by a health educator and actor/playwright in an after-school program, local teenagers use their insight and experiences to create interactive presentations that capture the trust, interest and imagination of their peers.

Presentations usually include three educational sessions within a two to three week period.

• interactive theatre performance – a skit, in and out of character discussion with
  the audience
• reality workshops -- young people in recovery or living with HIV share their
  personal stories
• skill-building workshop -- students practice communication and resistance skills through educational activities and role-playing exercises
