Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10-24. Nationwide, 1 out of 6 students in grades 9-12 have seriously considered suicide in the past year.

Yes! I'm interested in THE KENTUCKY SUFFRAGE PROJECT.

When 15-year old Hannah receives numerous threatening messages from an online peer, she finds herself becoming more and more powerless. Terrified, it seems to Hannah that she has no other way to end the fear and pain than to take her own life. In this interactive theatre production, students have the opportunity to stop the action and choose other options that can change the outcome for Hannah. During these "interventions", students often are able to take Hannah’s place on stage and act out their ideas, practicing how they themselves would deal with the situation at hand.

CHOICES was created in 2009, through a partnership with Make a Difference for Kids. Founder Mark Neblett knows all too well the negative consequences of cyberbullying. His 17-year old daughter died by suicide in 2006 after she was stalked online by a peer from her school. In August 2012, Looking for Lilith was one of ten organizations around the country that was invited to the annual American Alliance for Theatre and Education pre-conference on cyberbullying and performed CHOICES. During the conference, LFL conducted a workshop about creating a Forum Theatre piece to address an issue of importance to individual schools or communities.
