Theatre of Peace: Bullying Awareness Acting Troupe
, a division of the non-profit Act Like You Matter, runs custom-designed, solution-driven Workshops for schools in San Diego County. We perform vignettes that raise awareness about bullying and demonstrate tools students can use immediately to overcome and combat bullying.
The ideal candidate for our troupe is someone who wants to use their talent to make a difference in the lives of their peers. A stipend will be paid for performances, but please do not submit if your primary goal is being paid! Our troupe is comprised of actors who value the cause more than the paycheck.
