The Grade 12 Drama Class at SDSS is producing a controversial play centered around teenage suicide.

The 'Bright Blue Mailbox Suicide' by Lindsay Price draws on issues that teens experience in everyday life.  Students were asked to maintain journals from which ideas and dialogue were drawn and the Grey Bruce Mental Health Unit was brought in to discuss some of the questions surrounding teen suicide.

Val Martin, who plays the role of Kendra, explains that, "It is a very interesting subject and I'm glad that we are doing it."  Amy Morgan added, "It has brought us closer together and made us more aware of others."

The play will be shown May 28th amd 29th at Saugeen District Secondary School.  See Event Planner for full details.
