After a hugely successful tour last winter and spring, "Texting the Sun" will return this fall, hitting the road on September 14th for a ten week tour. Offered with optional pre and/or post-show workshops, "Texting the Sun" clearly struck a cord with students, teachers and parents during it's debut tour.
During the 2009/2010 school year, "Texting the Sun" performed 110 times at 98 schools, serving nearly 24,000 students. Teaching Artists (the "Texting the Sun" cast) facilitated 86 individual workshops.
With issues like cyber-bullying and body image showing up in the news with such regularity, now is the time to initiate thoughtful conversations with young people about how they interact with the media sources that surround them. Booking for this production is well underway.
A good selection of dates still exists, but the calendar is filling up quickly. Likewise, a limited number of workshops will be available by application. As one teacher noted last year: "This was such a great program! Thank you so much for helping start conversations about issues we are concerned about.
