2nd Act presents: I'll Be There For You. The play follows a group of young people as they create an original play inspired by their daily lives, using the stage as a way to better understand themselves and the world around them. They pull themes from their own lived experience, such as gender and immigrant identity, relationships with adults, and the ways alcohol and other drugs can reshape the landscape of a young person's life. Ultimately they discover what it means to write one’s own ending. The performance is followed by a 15 minute talk back with actors who have lived experience.

2nd Act is a collective of artists in recovery which uses theatre, film, and drama therapy to address the impact of substance use.

This program is for teens in grades 8-12 only.
