Join us for an original performance created by the students of “What Do You See?”

A class offered through collaboration between Kaiser Permanente, Oregon Children’s Theatre and Roosevelt High School, “What Do You See?” is a class exploring the issue of body image, giving voice to students’ individual perspectives and experiences through theatre, music, movement and visual arts.

Students have developed an original performance examining stereotypes, relationships, high school pressures, and visions for the future…Come hear their stories.

Friday, May 29th & Saturday, May 30th, 7:00pm
Roosevelt High School Auditorium
6941 N. Central Street

We are more than what you see….We are more than who you tell us to be…

I want people to know me, not the person that stands before you, but the person inside the girl.
The life inside may often hide behind the brown, blue, or green eyes.
Beliefs and dreams may sometimes feel rejected but who I am inside always shines.
I am music, writing, and poem.
I am me.

Do you know who you are?
Go deep inside to the deepest place where the thought don’t

come from your mind but your heart.

Featuring: Tyfany Bennett as Wiley; Jeremy Howard as Hairy Man/Chorus; Leona Kindermann as Chorus/Hairy Man; Signe Larson as Mammy; Mackenzie Polley as Dog; Zach Rice as Chorus/Hairy Man; Madeleine Rogers as Chorus/Hairy Man.
