"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.

When it comes to mental health services, communities traditionally focus on supporting kids as needs arise. This work is crucial for the safety of our students. Equally important, though, is prevention-based programming that can help, early on, prevent the social-emotional challenges our kids may be experiencing from escalating.
