"Out Of Bounds" Performance
"Out of Bounds" Performance at the PACE Center in Parker, Colorado
Out of Bounds tells the story of cyber bullying from the viewpoint of 14-year-old Amy and her peers. On a dare, Amy posted a picture of herself online that she shouldn't have. Now that she has transferred to a new school, she hopes she can make a fresh start. But when a rival finds the whole embarrassing history online, this time Amy has nowhere to run. This honest production is both thoughtful and powerful for today’s students facing multi-faceted bullying.
