/The Bully Project /at Miller South School


The Miller South Drama Department will present /The Bully Project /on 
Thursday, Nov 15 at 7 pm, Friday, Nov 16 at 9 am and Saturday, Nov 17 at 
7 pm.

/The Bully Project /consists of 10 ten-minute plays that address the 
subject of bullying -- from various points of view. The bullying takes 
place on different levels: elementary school, middle school, high 
school, college and adult life. The plays address the issue using a wide 
array of theatrical formats: from circus to ancient Greek myth to comedy 
and very serious tragedy. The playwrights have chosen unique and 
powerful metaphors to confront bullying, which we hope will stick in the 
audience's memory and perhaps influence future actions.

In honor of Miller South School's 20 year anniversary, we welcome back 
some alumni who are participating in this production. Co-director Robert 
M Keith is a recent theatre education graduate from NYU. Alumni actors 
include Pablo Aquart, Krissa Duhon, Jillian Hartline, Hayley Hineline, 
Sarah Hineline, and Emily Markuz. They join a cast of fifty 4th - 8th 
grade Miller South students. Also directing is Wendy Duke. Technical 
Director is "Buffo" Shuff.

Two of the ten plays were written by Miller South Drama alumni: /A Brief 
Conversation /is by Katie Markovich, a recent graduate of the College of 
Wooster and now establishing her career as a writer/performer in 
Chicago. /Jasper's Jewels /is by Lilly Romestant, a second year student 
at Oglethorpe University near Atlanta where she is pursuing theatre and 
writing. The other plays (published as The Bully Plays collection by 
Dramatic Publishing) include: /Nobody Nose the Trouble I?ve Seen /by 
Barry Kornhauser; Beasts by Ernie Nolan; /Here be Dragons /by Doug 
Cooney; /Blu /by Gloria Bond Clunie; /A Bunch of Clowns /by Sandra 
Fenichel Archer; /Happy birthday Heather Higby (I Am Plotting Your Doom) 
/by Stephen Gregg; and /Flash Mob /by Elisabeth Wong.
