Playhouse in the Park and ArtsWave Sampler 2012 at the Wyoming Fine Arts Center
WAR - By Dennis Foon, Friday, February 10 at 7:00 pm at the Wyoming Fine Arts Center
Recommended for age 11 and up.
This powerful play examines how aggression and violence permeate youth culture as four young men struggle with the pressures of competitiveness, anger and vulnerability. Dennis Foon, one of Canada’s leading young-adult playwrights, interviewed teens, social workers and violent offenders to write this drama about how boys use war as a metaphor for their lives — on the street, in school, in sports and in their relationships with the opposite sex. The playwright uses invented language to stand in for harsh slang, creating a poetic and highly theatrical experience. Performances will include a facilitated talkback to help students articulate and respond to the issues of the play.
