FRIENDS TO THE END depicts four college Freshmen on break.  The young men, all longstanding friends since high school, meet up to “swap stories” about their exploits at their respective schools.  Over the course of their conversation, one of the friends admits to his involvement in an incident of on-campus Dating Violence.  In the ensuing conversation, the friends confront a wide range of topics, including sexual assault, depersonalization, entitlement, and what it means to be an “Empowered Bystander.”  What the characters discover during the conversation may change their ideas of masculinity, brotherhood, and friendship, forever.

Catch the debut of this exciting, new show!  August 9th, Stone Spiral Coffeehouse, 7 p.m, Maplewood, MO

Comments about Tim’s a performance of Tim’s one-man show, addressing Bullying Prevention,

STANDING BY, STANDING UP,

from St. Louis Nursing students:

“It was great!  Eye-opening.”

“Great show!  Really open your eyes to important issues.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the show– great performance and portrayal of Bullying for teaching and educational purposes.”

“Thought-provoking, and a remarkable display of talent.”

“Very great!  I thought it was wonderful to see Bullying from a bystander’s (and more than one, at that) point of view.”

“I thought the presentation was true to life, and captured the essence of the different roles in a Bullying situation.  This would be a great intervention for hospitals and other large business where Bullying takes place on a daily basis.”

“This play brought a whole new light to Bullying, and I am glad I got to witness such a fascinating interpretation!”

“Loved the show!  Very eye-opening!”

“It was a great show.  It was very inspirational, and very true to life.  I knew someone in real like that was like a character in your show!”

Comments about Tim’s a performance of Tim’s one-man show, addressing Dating Violence, THE SCRIPT,

from students of Goldfarb School of Nursing:

“Great show!  I think it addresses issues that need to be addressed.  This is a form that creates exposure and conversations that need to be had.  It was an eye-opening performance!”

“This show is an amazing way to educate.  It informs people of sensitive issues without being condescending.  It made me think about issues that can be uncomfortable.  AMAZING!  It would be interesting to see a show on STDs… b/c so many young people are ignorant of the issues.  Students will continue to be sexually active, despite risks, so I think it would be a great way to educate.  I recommend this to everyone!  WOW!”

“Incredible performance.  I especially appreciated that the show pointed out that women don’t ask to be raped.  It doesn’t matter what women wear, who they have been with before, or if they go out late at night.  It’s not the woman’s fault!  Thank You.”

“Very eye-opening, no matter if you are male, or female.  Thank you for portraying the truth that others don’t want to talk about.  Thank you for this!”

“It was a very good show.  If I had a son or brother in high school or college, I would want them to see this show.  It brings up great topics, and is a great starting point to promote discussion about the topic.”
