In 1988, the movie premiered to surprisingly giant audiences nationwide and garnered a cult-following for its harsh attack on the reality of high school life. Along with many others, I grew up with this dark comedy as a kid, but I was shocked to see that the story of Heathers has gained even more relevance in 2018. In March of 2017, I sat down with REPresent, our student advisory board and many other high school students and asked them one question: what shows speak to you as a young adult? What show do you connect with so much as a high-school student that you are just bursting at the seams to perform it? There were a few titles mentioned – Spring Awakening, Bare: A Pop Opera, even Footloose. The title that was requested more than any others was Heathers. It was evident that this show contained themes and content that our students wanted, and perhaps needed, to put a voice to. Many of these titles contained adult themes and language but featured characters of high school age. It was evident that our students wanted to express themselves personally and artistically with challenging material and mature themes that they themselves were currently dealing with. Making a decision to produce any production is not taken lightly, especially one that contains adult or challenging themes for our students and/or community. We started with research and multiple conversations and meetings about the teen suicide, gun violence, and bullying. We evolved from our normal artistic process to a journey that shed light on important subject that all students normally have to deal with on their own. As we processed and grew from these discoveries, it became even more pivotal to communicate the story of Heathers with passion and decorum. Our production disguises these types of themes in comedic satire that deteriorates as the show progresses, leaving a sad and vulnerable reality that is more relevant now than ever. The day of our first production meeting, we were all devastated by the news from Parkland. Discussion began with the production team, as well as the cast, on how to proceed as we were dealing with similar atrocities in our own production. Not long after, I was overwhelmed as members of the cast spoke up with maturity and grace, saying our story is one that needs to be told now more than ever. The cast was not only ready to perform this type of material, but had learned throughout the process that theatre is more

  • First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006
    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

To live out his dream of winning the Battle of the Bands, he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. While teaching the students what it means to truly rock, something happens Dewey didn’t expect... they teach him what it means to care about something other than yourself. For almost 200 years, The National Theatre has occupied a prominent position on Pennsylvania Avenue – “America’s Main Street” – and played a central role in the cultural and civic life of Washington, DC. Located a stone’s throw from the White House and having the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site as it’s “front yard,” The National Theatre is a historic, cultural presence in our Nation’s Capital and the oldest continuously operating enterprise on Pennsylvania Avenue.

  • FOOTLOOSE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS from the Author: the Major Characters in Footloose Have One Trait in Common: They Are All Survivors
    FOOTLOOSE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS From the author: The major characters in Footloose have one trait in common: they are all survivors. Their circumstances, no matter how tragic, have not defeated them. As a consequence, the audience finds them likable, sympathetic, and human. This means that each role is unique and presents the actor with specific challenges. Thumbnail sketches of some of these characters are provided below. There will be a lot of support with dancing. The show will be choreographed in a way that stretches students’ dancing abilities without hindering their performances. If you do not consider yourself a dancer, see learning choreography as another step in your education as a theatrical performer. MALE CHARACTERS REN MCCORMACK (Leading role, dancer) A teenage boy from Chicago. Ideally, Ren must sing and dance – and he must also be fairly witty. Ren is a joker who enjoys a good time (which is why his pals are upset to find out he’s leaving Chicago in the opening number). Lately though, his fun-loving attitude has taken on a tone of desperation. He is trying too hard to convince the world, and himself, that his father’s desertion hasn’t wounded him as deeply as it has. Ariel is the first character to get Ren to talk about that sticky subject. Sharing that intimacy early on becomes the basis for Ren’s and Ariel’s relationship. Ren’s emotional journey starts with his being feisty and flippant in Act 1, continues through his thoughtful argument to the Town Council, and ends with this emotional final confrontation with Reverend Moore.
