What rites of passage do young people confront in todays world?

Participants will also receive acting training, focusing on the work created in the classroom. The class will culminate with a public performance the weekend of January 21st 2005. Thus the class will in itself become a rite of passage as participants will go from creating an original work, to expressing it with their own voice before an invited audience.
