Today’s kids wander a vast frontier with much uncharted territory:  cyberspace.  From the comfort of their own homes, they open the door to hidden dangers every time they enter a chat room, go on social media, post a photo online, or even send an email.  In a series of true-to-life vignettes, Cyber-mare explores various scenarios that can lead to trouble online.  Whether it’s a cyber-bully assuming a victim’s identity through their email address, someone mass-forwarding an embarrassing picture, or a stalker posing as a peer, each vignette is a wake-up call that will give everyone something to think about next time they log on or send a text message.

In its premiere production, Cyber-mare received rave reviews from 1,800 middle and high school students who found it pertinent and informative without talking down to them.

Because the play tackles heavy topics and cites important statistics, it lightens the mood with Comic Relief, a down-to-earth character whose intermittent jokes and playful audience interaction can be tailored to your specific needs.  Without being preachy, the play assumes young people are already computer-savvy and knowledgeable while revealing crucial lessons to young people about the potential dangers and consequences of what they do and say online.
