Bloody Red Heart - Real L.A. teens explode the puffy pink heart stereotype in a stage adaptation of the bestselling book of essays, RED: Teenage Girls in America Write On What Fires Up Their Lives Today (www.redthebook.com), with additional personal stories from L.A. public high school students. Every word of Bloody Red Heart is written by real teenagers-the girls in the book, ages 13 to 19, and local students. These talented young authors are on fire. Their true stories are the best shades of red (not pink): deeply gutsy, a little bit angry, a lot passionate, primary-color invested in their cause. Actors from the Los Angeles City College Theatre Academy will bring the teen-written true stories to life on stage. A local writing contest adds an unprecedented immediacy and educational component to the show, shaping important dialogue between youth and their peers, parents, and educators.
