TEACHERS TAKE THE STAGE
Teachers and professional performers will model a story-slam for students. Stories range from hilarious to heart-wrenching and are underscored by live music by Strike Anywhere musician, Rolf Sturm. The show is directed by SA's Artistic Director, Leese Walker, and is intended to serve as a model of excellence for students as they craft their own stories for solo performance later next month. The performances are part of a residency project at the International High School for Health Sciences. Students work with SA Teaching-Artist and professional playwright/performer, Amy E. Witting, as part of a 12-week residency in their English Language Arts classroom. The program is supported by funding from the DOE's Arts and Special Projects and the Herb and Rita Gold Charitable Foundation.

STUDENTS TAKE THE STAGE
Student storytellers from the International HS for Health Sciences (IHSHS) join Strike Anywhere's musicians on stage as they share true stories from their lives framed by live music. IHSHS students are all recent immigrants and the stories range from heart-wrenching to hilarious. The performance is the result of a 12-session residency with professional playwright Amy E. Witting who worked with seniors in 3 of Alex Porter's English Language Arts classes. Prepare to be inspired by the strength, resiliency and sheer courage of these young people. They are nothing short of amazing.
