The Award Winning "Good Kids: Break the Silence"

"At a time when teenagers are driving national
discussions, Toms River students are raising awareness about the sensitive and
crucial issue of sexual assault. And they’re doing so through art."

Teens who represent an advocacy branch of the International Thespian Society
Troupe from Toms River High School North are spreading awareness of
the extreme importance of preventing sexual assault/harassment by presenting a
staged reading of "Good Kids" by Naomi Iizuka.

This reading will be held at 7 pm in the Mancini Hall of the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library at 101 Washington Street. Free parking on the street after 5 pm and FREE admission.

The program will be followed by a discussion facilitated by
the St. Francis Sexual Assault Center.

The content of the play centers on the sexual assault of a girl who drank
too much at a high school party and went home with kids from the school football
team. The story is told from multiple sides that come to light as evidence of
the event appears on social media, and people start to form their own opinions.
Good Kids is a chilling portrayal of the gravity of sexual assault and the
permanence of social media.

For ages 13 + only - Please note that this performance of
‘Good Kids’ contains triggering and/or sensitive material, such as sexual
assault and victim-blaming. It also contains strong language.
