The Pressure Point!
“The Pressure Point!” is an engaging, interactive production designed for grades 4, 5 and 6. Utilizing a fun, game-show format, the play addresses important issues that students deal with as they begin facing peer pressure and making their own decisions.
Students from the audience are brought into the production as contestants, then presented with circumstances that explore themes of vision, choice and leadership. The tone is upbeat, and themes are integrated into scenarios taken from real situations shared by students during the show’s development. As student contestants choose possible reactions to each scenario, pros and cons of their choices are addressed, and tools are suggested for helping students make wise decisions.
