I am a huge advocate of educational entertainment and the power of enthralling audiences, while educating them on the sneak tip. The LAist posted an article online today about an excellent example at John Wooden High, a high school in Reseda, CA.
A troupe of actors, courtesy of Kaiser Permanente, visited the school with a theatre performance about five teens dealing with unprotected sex and sexually transmitted disease in the last days of high school. The play incorporates texting and holds a Q&A session afterwards for teens to clear up misconceptions about home remedies and myths.
The performance is part of Kaiser Permanente's long running health education through live theatre program - Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre. This is my first time hearing about this program and I love it! I may even submit my resume to get involved!
