Headlines of Hate
Ripped from the headlines, Headlines of Hate, is based on actual bullying events from the last four years. Each of the characters living in New Jersey, Missouri and Oregon, face identity-based bullying and discrimination at their school. There will be a panel discussion about this play during the final breakout period on March 17 where you will have an opportunity to submit questions to be answered by our panel.
