Hull High Theatre Arts at METG

This past Saturday HHSTA attended the Massachusetts Educators Theatre Guild High School Theatre Festival.  Hull had the opportunity to watch 8 other schools showcase their talents in different styles of theatre.  The students had a great time and represented their school well.  They immediately connected with students from the different schools including Xaverian Brothers, Nauset Regional, Duxbury, Hingham, Hanover, South Shore Charter, Rising Tide Charter, and Scituate High Schools.  Often Hull students could be found participating in theatre and improv games or dancing to music with other students during the breaks.  They participated in a post-showcase Q&A, asking questions to the other schools about their shows, acting techniques, or creative processes.  HHSTA is very inspired and excited to join the guild and present at student directed/produced show in 2017.  

Our director, Mr. Sullivan, also had the opportunity to connect with directors from other schools who will lend us support in preparing for next year, and discussed ideas for collaborative efforts in exchange workshops, attending performances and lending of resources.

Drug Story Theater's Production - Thursday 7PM

Drug Story Theater's production of, "The Price You Pay" is Thursday, February 11 at 7PM at the Joseph Doniger Auditorium at Hull High School.

About the Performance

The teens in Drug Story Theater’s pilot program have created an amazing show based on their true stories.  Parents became involved, sharing their own stories of watching their child choose drugs and alcohol over the trust of their relationship.  Their time together improvising, rehearsing, and performing brought them closer. But the time spent traveling to and from the theater was an unanticipated boon, as parent and child, perhaps for the first time in a long time, simply enjoyed each other’s company.         

About Drug Story Theater, Inc.

Drug Story Theater (DST) takes teenagers in the early stages of recovery from drugs and alcohol and teaches them improvisational theater.  The teens then create their own shows about the seduction of, addiction to, and recovery from drugs and alcohol.  They weave their stories into a theatrical piece that is performed for middle and high school audiences so the treatment of one becomes the prevention of many.

Drug Story Theater’s innovative approach to decreasing adolescent substance abuse capitalizes on and integrates current knowledge of adolescent brain development into all stages of the program: from therapeutic group sessions, improvisational exercises, and family involvement, to story development, script writing, rehearsing, and performing of the teen’s own stories in front of live audiences.

 

Applause provides a message of value, and your applause has a powerful impact.  But there is no final curtain in DST shows. Performers reach out in an effort to prevent addiction among other teens, strengthening their own recovery, while gaining new skills, experiences, and insights to create, reach and realize their own goals.

Drug Story Theater, Inc.

Where the treatment of one becomes the prevention of many.
