SCREAM Theater
Students
Challenging Reality and Educating
Against
Myths | SCREAM Theater is a peer
educational, interactive theater program that educates groups and
initiates dialogue about issues of interpersonal violence including sexual
assault, dating violence, same-sex violence, stalking, bullying, and peer
harassment. Created and acted by undergraduate students from Rutgers
University, the skits are developed for specific communities such as high
school students, college students, community groups, social service
agencies, and law enforcement. SCREAM Theater performs nationwide.
SCREAM Theater is
guided by its commitment to help create communities that do not tolerate
violence. The goal of SCREAM Theater is to use interactive peer education
to increase awareness as well as initiate dialogue about the occurrence of
interpersonal violence. Through the discussion of the skits with the
audience, SCREAM works to dispel certain myths about interpersonal
violence, as well as offer avenues for individuals and communities to
actively work against the problem of violence. A by-product of SCREAM’s
efforts is the formation of a group of informed and committed peer
educators who then serve as leaders on these issues within their families,
circles of friends, and in their future workplaces.
