Through the use of poetry, song, music, art, dance, monologues, and skits our young adults in middle school and high school develop their own theatrical productions. Please keep coming back to this page for an announcement of our 2006 production and to reserve tickets for the performance. All productions are original, the result of a group effort by the youth.

Check back in the early fall for details about the 2006 production from the youth arts club.

Past Performances

Why You Talkin' Bout My Mama?!

We've all done it before. Whether we were trying to be hurtful or just funny, the phrase "your momma" is used as an insult every day. These words cut deeper than others and are more often the catalyst for violence in the lives of refugee youth. The Youth Arts Club members as they dramatized the complex relationships we have with our mothers and explored issues such as bullying, family, and violence.

Knock Knock America

Through stories, songs, and dances the audience followed the youth as they left their home countries and journey to the United States for the first time, encountering new homes, new schools, and new cultures. It was an amazing story of strength, courage, and, above all, hope.
