A PASION FOR JUSTICE:
THE PRUDENCE CRANDALL STORY
High Impact Theater

This program represents a very successful partnership between YAC and the CT Anti-Defamation League. It was designed specifically to use theatre to underscore the issues of racial prejudice and student leadership. This dynamic program combines dramatic performance and prejudice awareness workshops led by ADL’s A World of Difference Institute trainers for middle and high school students. Many school districts have utilized this program as an interdistrict program.
