Commissioned by the City of Harrisonburg/Rockingham County Public Schools in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Health to combat teen pregnancy, this play was designed to be performed by high school students for middle school students, specifically 7th grade. As in many places in the U.S., this is a fairly conservative district, so words such as “sex” and “condoms” were prohibited. But, through the use of fast pacing, comedy, and a heavy emphasis on “making good choices” the message gets across. The production was so successful that it became a part of the district’s curriculum and enjoyed annual productions for every 7th grade student for more than five years.
