Mike Frantz, the owner of Frantz Community Investors, said Iowa City officials have been evaluating the redevelopment of the Jefferson Building and the south side of the 100 block of East Washington Street in order to optimize the area and put a new face on it for the next couple hundred years.

Frantz said the idea to bring a bou- UI Professor Michael O’Hara and UI Professor Emerita Jane Engeldinger sit near a window in Stuit Hall on Tuesday.

By Cassidy Riley [email protected] When Working Group Theater was commissioned by Hancher to write a play about bullying, Jennifer Fawcett didn’t plan on composing two plays. But shortly after beginning her research on the sensitive issue, she had an epiphany — the effects of bullying do not happen in a vacuum that only affect the child. Parents, teachers, school administra- tors, and even state legislators grapple with the issue and work together to try to bring it to an end. ‘As long as parents show that they support their child Fawcett set out to write a play about how children are affected by bullying, but throughout the course of interviews with community members, she discovered that and have open communication with the child, I think parents, too, feel anxiety as they try to help their children through the ordeal. “I just found the stories that the adults that’s the best support they could really have.’ were telling me were so compelling that they just needed to be on stage,” the play- wright said. -Emily Hinkler So Fawcett decided to do just that, write a second play to show how parents, teach- ers, and other adults feel when children are bullied. Out of Bounds, the version from the adult perspective, will première at 7:30 p.m. to- day at Riverside Theater, 213 N. Gilbert St. The show will continue through May 4. Ticket prices range from $10 to $25. The play written for the children’s au- dience toured local junior-high schools in November, and troupe members plan to tour the show again next fall. That play focuses on the story from the perspective of Amy, a 14-year-old girl who is persuad- ed to send a picture of herself in her bra via Snapchat to a stranger she meets on- line. He, in turn, takes a screenshot of the photo and shares it on Facebook. Soon, Amy becomes victimized online and at school by people sending her mes- sages calling her such names as “trash” and “pig.” The play attempts to educate kids about how to handle these situations — whether they are the bully, the victim, or the bystander. The version for the adult audience cen- ters on a very similar scenario. Amy is en- rolled in a new school and is persuaded by some of her friends to send a photo of herself in her bra. However, this time the play focuses on how parents and teachers attempt to handle and pacify these kinds of situations. “Most parents want to, obviously, pro- tect their kids,” Fawcett said. “It happens, and I think so many parents feel power- less to it that they can’t seem to stop this bad stuff that’s happening to their kids by other children.” UI student Emily Hinkler, who plays the role of Amy in both plays, said adults, specifically parents, feel tremendous pres- sure to fix the situation for the child, but in reality, they may have to accept there isn’t much they can do. “As long as parents show that they sup- port their child and have open communica- tion with the child, I think that’s the best support they could really have,” she said.
