| | Script Preview Productions | | | Synopsis | | “Those that can, do. Those that can't, bully.” Acting out for tolerance, the message is clear and sometimes loud. This drama starts with seven students entering a mock classroom to discuss tolerance. The phrase “Yes, it occurs. Yes, it should be stopped. However, stopping it should not interfere with my daily life” rumbles the auditorium. A guest speaker instructs the class to switch roles thus, the jock becomes a band member, the student becomes a teacher, the boyfriend pressuring his girlfriend to have sex becomes the girlfriend. When roles are reversed, respect is born. After a final round-table discussion among the student actors, the skit concludes with the statement, “Yes, it occurs. Yes, it should be stopped. Stopping it needs to interfere with our daily lives.” Originally performed at Rock Falls High School, Rock Falls, IL as part of the school's Tolerance Initiative Campaign. |
