In 23 high schools across the country the new high school student written production of Prospect High: Brooklyn will open. Southwest High School was chosen as one of those 23.
The curtain opened last night on a quality performance produced by the IB HL Theater class and its talented group of actors, tech people, and directors. The fast paced production moves through several "typical" high school dramas. There are few solutions and the words seem authentic.
The play addresses themes of apathy, revenge, deep friendship, trans acceptance, causal racism, self-harm and the power of both good and bad advice form teachers, all against the backdrop of an enormous Brooklyn high school. We see the good, bad and ugly side of teenage relationships and explorations toward adulthood.
Two more nights - Thursday and Friday, Feb. 25 and 16. Curtain at 7:00 pm in the Black Box.
