Blu By Gloria Bond Clunie Directed by Jeffrey K. Miller
Blu is not like the other 8th grade students and she doesn’t want to be. Inside Blu’s room, her brother and his friends search for Blu’s missing journal. In their quest, they discover that there is much more to be found. As Blu’s story unfolds, the frame of her world is brought into focus for her brother and the audience as her brightly colored personality is diminished to grayed darkness. Told at the intersection of two worlds, the play offers the opportunity for the audience to see the “bullying” problem from multiple perspectives and to make connections to the direct and indirect effects of bullying behavior on the world around us. The play contains LGBTQA+ themes, as well as themes of suicide. There will be a discussion after the performance led by the Director and the cast with a focus on extending awareness about bullying and suicide in LGBTQA+ youth communities.
