"I'M JUST A SUPERHERO"
Violence Prevention Theatre

Photo - I'm Just a Superhero Violence Prevention Theater

I'm Just a Superhero educates students about the impact of bullying and the behavioral choices that all students make--bullies, targets and bystanders. This piece is a great addition to violence prevention education programs and explorations of responsible citizenship. The program includes the play and a facilitated discussion with the audience, followed by simultaneous pairs of small group workshops, each facilitated by two actors.


I'm Just a Superhero (Grade 3-6)


I'm Just a Superhero, a three-person play written and directed by Dexter J. Singleton, is a day in the life of Loni, a new fifth grader, and her encounters with a school bully. After an attempt to "pay back" her antagonist, she is thrust into a world of her favorite
comic book heroes, The Gamma Team. Through these adventures, she learns the ultimate lessons of self acceptance and courage.
Length: 45 minute performance, 10 minute discussion, and 45 minute workshops
