Project Report | May 31, 2013
Graduation Time

Pausing for a photo before training

It's that time of year!  The teachers we train through the BTSA program are completing the year, graduating from our program and hoping to get their credentials.  Most of the students in our service-learning class are graduating as well.  Just as we are saying goodbye to them we are holding auditions for our next class.

We are so proud of this class and of the incredible work they have done this year to stop homophobic bullying in schools.  It's been an exciting year!  We have added some new elements to our project - a Tumblr blog for the teachers to access 24 hours a day to get resources about making their schools safe and inclusive.  We also have a private Facebook group for our students - we use it to post and discuss issues related to this work and to give reminders about rehearsals and costumes etc.

Wish us luck on pullling together our next class of dedicated young actors - auditions will be done in June and we will be back training teachers in August.  Over the summer, we will be busy planning and writing scripts and preparing for another fantastic year.

Thanks for being a part of it - we couldn't do it without you.
