The Teens Speak Out program is now in its third year. Featuring monologues, scenes, dances, vocal performances, and visual arts, this program is designed to give voices to local teen performers on topics that matter most to them – with several of the pieces being written by the performers themselves. The productions are curated by the teens under the guidance of RLT Education Coordinator, La Ronda Etheridge. The Teens Speak Out program debuted in 2019 with “Teens Speak Out: Thoughts & Prayers Are Not Enough” – a piece about gun violence in schools. In 2020 “Teens Speak Out: Glad You Are Here” focused on the effects and prevention of teen suicide. This year, “Teens Speak Out: Unmuted” focuses on the effects of Covid-19 and quarantine on the mental health of teenagers.
