Teen Performance Troupe – learn about teens sharing their story
Teens from The Children’s Room have come together each year to create their own original show about grief in their lives.
Each performer has experienced the death of a family member, and together they create a a powerful and innovative performance that incorporates their personal stories. The performance mixes humor and poignant moments. As one performer said, “The troupe has become a really important part of my life.”
Bring the Performance Troupe to your community. Past audiences for the Performance Troupe include:
- Arlington High School school assembly
- Independent School Health Association Spring Conference
- Harvard University class for Masters of Education Program
- Cambridge School of Weston school assembly
- Wediko Children’s Services staff (non-profit providing counseling in the Boston Public Schools)
Performances are most appropriate for children ages 12 and up.
A typical performance lasts 45 minutes, followed by 20-30 minutes of open questions and answers. All performances are attended by professional staff of The Children’s Room.
