Letter from the Producer Welcome to tonight’s production of The Bully Plays. Our five plays come from a compilation of twenty-four ten-minute plays written specifically for middle and high school students to perform and see. The plays are designed to produce positive interactions and conversations around the very serious subject of bullying. According to a lot of the articles the students and I read as we researched these plays, everyone has either seen bullying, been a bully or been a victim of bullying in our lives. This subject touches us all! Unfortunately, since our past election, our nation has seen a spike in bullying and harassment. That has been true for Oregon City High School. As an educator and theatre artist I wanted to do something to help, something positive and uplifting. Art is a powerful way for us as human beings to explore difficult aspects of our lives. We watch characters go through challenges and experiences and can learn from what we observe or possibly relate to the circumstances being portrayed onstage and take comfort in the fact that we are not alone. My hope is that these five, very different plays, will help our audiences feel empowered to stand up to bullying as either a bystander or as a victim. At the very least I hope the plays can inspire audiences to know it is okay to tell someone who will stand up and make the bullying behavior stop! Another really important part of any intervention into bullying behavior is to try and understand the bully and why they are behaving in such a negative way. As a class we have all tried to come to terms with the idea of forgiveness. When we understand and forgive and try to help a person who bullies, we are on the path of making our school, community, state and country safer for everyone. Punishment by itself is not going to effect change in the long run. Punishment alone will only increase anger and negative behavior will continue. We have to help people to be better with education, understanding, forgiveness and positive experiences. Then, and only then, can we hope to make a dent in the amount of bullying behavior we see around us. My hope is that our show tonight can be a positive step towards that goal. I know it has certainly felt good for all of us to be a part of the conversation and to feel like we are doing something to help. We are so glad you are here to share this with us. Together we can make things better. Enjoy the show, and remember to stand up to bullying.
