This thought-provoking and entertaining "talk-show style" audience participation show really holds the attention of this age group, and most of all, is lots of fun!

It’s effective and sparks a dialogue about a range of important topics. Here are some that are frequently requested:

• Responsible Behavior

• Bullying & Cyber-Bullying

• Decision Making & Critical Thinking

• Friendship

• School Issues

• Family Issues

• Substance Abuse

• Peer Pressure & Self Esteem

Here’s the way it works:

We'll help you select 3 or 4 topics that would be best for your group. For more topic choices, please look at the lists below. After the topics are selected,we'll put together a custom presentation for your group.

The format keeps everyone involved and interested.

The 2 actors present a series of short skits about the selected topics. Each skit is left open-ended so the audience can 'talk-back' to the characters in the skit. The students can comment and give their suggestions as to how to solve the problems presented. What makes it really intriguing, is that during the ‘talk-back’, the actors stay in character and speak to the students as though they were those people portrayed in the skit!

The skits and guided discussions during the ‘talk-back’ are all led by Mark J. Cherny, a licensed and experienced psychotherapist.

He has worked extensively with children, teens, and families, and has a vibrant and friendly professional manner that encourages lots of student participation.

Teen Studio Theatre is a great way to open a forum for a guided discussion about a full range of issues and subjects! Critical thinking, brainstorming and exploring options to find a solution to a problem are key skills your students will have the opportunity to practice during this unique show. You can book one show or a series. Easy to use lesson plans are available for post-show follow-up.

Please contact us. We will be happy to put together the program that’s right for your group! Call Mark: 561-445-4587 or Andrea: 561-445-1305

We bring the show to your location. Local South Florida and out of town bookings available!
