School Performance: Green Thumb presents Tagged

THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT. WAITING LIST ONLY.

Online. Out of line.

The anonymous online world gives us permission to say and do things we would never do in real life. But where do we draw the line between fun and maliciousness? The harsh realities of cyber bullying and what happens when we’re discovered come to a head in tagged, the latest play by Dave Deveau (Out in the Open). As an Officer investigates Jerri and Webber, two young adults, in the incessant online harassment of a fellow student, not all is as it appears to be. Do these teens actually understand the consequences of their actions? Or have they even caught the right people? How responsible are we for the words that we type and what they lead others to do? Torn from the headlines, tagged dissects the dangerous potential for harm that exists between social media and young minds.

Running time: 50 min + 10 min Q&A
