Nightmare on Puberty St. is a tongue-in cheek journey through middle school, where the pressures of childhood and adulthood meet. A cast of four performer/educators use comedy, music, dance, and drama to bring to life the issues facing middle school students. Between bouts of exuberance, the characters wrestle with the question, "Am I normal?" They help adolescents realize they are not alone in facing the changes and challenges of puberty. This thought-provoking program presents important information about difficult topics in an entertaining way. Nightmare on Puberty St. can be a catalyst for discussions for students, teachers, and parents about:
- Peer pressure and self-esteem
- First feelings of sexual attraction and how to show affection without being sexually active
- Depression and thoughts of suicide
- Violence at home and at school
- Communication with parents and peers
In addition to the live performance, Nightmare on Puberty St. includes a question-and-answer session, role-play opportunities, and resource materials for the students and teachers.
