Attention Youth Actors/Singers: Mattering is a political play about the lived experiences of youth who truant class and school. This play brings into the light real-life stories that have been pushed into the darkness. We hope to stir the audience to reflect, think about the action on stage, and to see the need for social justice. Student actors will have the opportunity to engage professionals, decision-makers, and community members in a post-performance discussion about truancy, based on the voices of the marginalised youth showcased in the play.
