Grosse Pointe Talent

Grosse Pointe Talent's CARE Division specializes in theatrical presentations produced for Elementary and Middle Schools with the purpose of educating children and teens on the prevention of child sexual abuse. Grosse Pointe Talent works as a team with with your school, local child abuse council, public safety department and county prosecutors. Students typically view "Bubbylonian Encounter" in 1st grade and then again in 3rd grade and "Just the Facts" when they are in 6th grade. These shows are designed to empower the students to protect their bodies. Students are taught that they can say "no" anytime a touch is uncomfortable to them and they can say "no" to anyone who makes them uneasy by touch even if it is a friend or a family member. They are taught the importance of reporting forced sexual touch to a trusted adult and to keep on telling a trusted adult until a trusted adult believes them and helps them. "Bubbylonian Encounter" is a high energy show featuring a space alien, Bubb who lives in a bubble and comes to the planet Earth to find out about the sense of touch. It is very entertaining and captures the children's attention, focusing on the differences between good touch, confusing touch and forced sexual touch. It emphasizes what to do when a touch confuses them or hurts them. Three important words, are repeated throughout the presentation "no, go, tell." "Just the Facts" uses actors to portray before and after scenes of incidents of sexual harassment/bullying, confusing touch, sexual assault and online safety. It is an interactive show where the students, through guided discussion, discover ways to avoid becoming a victim.
