Shakespeare Festival St. Louis Introduces Area Students to Cyber Bullying as Part of 2013 Education Tour

- Mar 26, 2013
In its latest educational production on bullying titled "Winning Juliet," a bullied girl named Julie, afraid to audition for a part in the school play because of student harassment, sends the director her audition tape -- Juliet's suicide scene -- in a YouTube link. The video is hacked and goes viral because her classmates think the video is real; Julie is expelled. Performances, which are scheduled April 27 through May 5 at Clayton High School, will feature teenagers from four area middle and high schools who are participating in SFSTL's annual semester-long MetroYouth Shakespeare residency program.
