Mac’s World

In MAC'S WORLD: an interactive play on resisting bullying and cyberbullying, students see a 30-minute play about a student who is grappling with an online and in-person bully. Afterwards, they get to intervene, giving Mac advice on how to cope and watching them try out that advice in improvised scenes. Some students are then guided to come onstage and replace the main character to try out their ideas in real time themselves! This LFL original's focus audience is 3rd - 5th graders, and it was in fact created in collaboration with 5th graders from our longest running after-school Drama Club, at Hawthorne Elementary School! Thanks so them, we were able to create a script by and for this age group, giving voice to their experiences and concerns.
