"CONSENT" examines the many types of bullying certain teens face, both obvious and subtle. The work focuses on a troubled sixteen-year old trying to come to terms with his sexuality in the face of ridicule and prejudice. The play explores the responsibilities we all have to communicate with our youth and teach our children to celebrate their differences instead of denigrating them. CONSENT also warns against taking advantage of the trust teens place in the adults they look up to.
 
"CONSENT" explores the reasons gay teens feel compelled to consider suicide and calls for acceptance and understanding. Impetus Ensemble hopes to raise awareness about this important subject.
 
The play runs 75 minutes and will feature Matthew Crooks, Christine E. Dow, Liza Harris & Alexander Haynes.

February 4, 2011 at 7:30PM as part of the Dramatists Guild Friday Night Footlights Series
