We are so excited to share news about our successful performance for the New York Public Libraries! On February 12th, we played to an enthusiastic crowd of young adults at the Bronx Library Center! The theatre was smaller than what we were used to, so we had to adjust the show some, but we are happy to report that things looked great and the audience was incredible responsive.

Concrete Temple outreach director Amy Rose Marsh and BYSTANDER actor Ashley Monet led a talkback right after the show, using information provided by the PACER Center. Photos below:

Last week, Governor Cuomo approved a new cyberbullying law for New York that calls for clearer protocols when dealing with cyberbullying in school, as well as improved training for teachers and programs to help prevent bullying before it begins.
