On the Road with Taproot Theatre

A travel journal of Taproot Theatre's Road Company. We travel to elementary and secondary schools throughout the Pacific Northwest performing plays dealing with issues such as bullying, harrassment and friendship building. Our plays empower kids to deal positively with these issues by providing them with safe steps to approach them.

A couple beautiful little moments from the last week

1. After we packed up the van to return back home to Taproot, Adrienne and Alicia headed to the office to purchase school t-shirts. While Daniel, Laura and I stood behind the school next to the van a young lady walked up to me.
"Hey. I go to school here and I just wanted to tell you that I think you guys made a big difference today."
"Thank you" I replied.
"Bullying is a big thing here. I see it everyday. What you guys did today is good for our school. I just wanted to tell you."

2. As I walked to the gym to perform Witness an eighth-grader stopped me and asked what we were going to do for the assembly.
"We're going to do a play about issues at your school."
"Oh, like bullying and stuff?"
"Yeah, like bullying."
Bullying was the first issue that came to his mind. Perhaps he already knew what we were going to do but wanted to ask anyway. But maybe that really was the first thing that came to his mind.
