Impact on stage email format

ImpACT on Stage is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to promote and enact social change through the use of live theater, by students, for students. Through a variety of programs battling such issues as bullying, consent and sexual violence, al- cohol and drug abuse, and workplace discrimination, we hope to make an impact in the lives of stu- dents around the world. Each program includes a year-long curriculum, tied to the Common Core standards, that covers the terminology used in the live performances and begins to establish the scope and scale of each is- sue. We provide students with fun resources that are both informational and accessible, while teach- ers receive specific lesson-plans covering ways to have meaningful and successful conversations with students about these issues. The impACT on Stage actors will provide an interactive, in-your-face performance that questions students’ awareness of these issues and challenges them to act as “UpStanders,” not just “ByStand- ers.” Each performance concludes with actors providing concrete tools the students can use to re- solve dangerous situations safely and peacefully. The post-performance curriculum we provide ensures that students are given the opportunity to discuss and digest the presentation. Working with school counselors and administrators, we provide resources for students to reach out for further help should that become necessary.
