Drug Story Theater -Tuesday, May 21st, at 7pm
Led by Psychiatrist Dr. Joseph Shrand, teens in the early stages of recovery from drugs and alcohol, are taught improvisational theater, and to help craft their own unique stories into a play about their seduction of, addiction to, and recovery from drugs and alcohol.
The play is presented to middle, high school and college audiences in a way that “the treatment of one becomes the prevention of many.”
At the end of the performance, Dr. Shrand will talk about the neuroscience of addiction and how it specifically affects the adolescent brain. A Q&A between Dr. Shrand, the audience, and the teen-actors will follow up, where the teen-actors will have the opportunity to answer questions about their lived experiences and about different ways to open the conversation between teens and adults.
This is a highly well reviewed program and usually hard to book! We are very fortunate to have them visit our school.
This program is brought to LSRHS by the DA office, the Sudbury Health Department and Community Connections.
