Presentation Description
Under Pressure was written by Heather Cherron and aimed to address the STI and HIV transmission rates among youth. This Forum Theatre production explored sexual pressures and consequences from a variety of perspectives as audiences observed five high school students in their struggles with image and popularity, love and friendship, betrayal and trust.
Under Pressure explored relationship negotiations and encouraged high school students to find their own voices in the midst of the complex pressures they face today.
Will Sharna lose Terek if she doesn’t have sex with him? Can Terek be trusted? What stops us from listening to our inner voices?
