JCCEO YES Ambassadors

Every Wednesday in July at 10am & 12 noon Free Show / Final show August 6th, 2008 at 7:00PM

Violence, no matter where it occurs is usually a traumatic tragic event but when it happens in our schools , to our children, it is an extraordinarily shocking occurence. The JCCEO Yes Ambassadors' 2008 production "Peace & Redemption" is a powerful drama that examines the cause and effect of random school violence. The story unfolds as students and the community struggle to understand the "Why " behind horrific acts of violence against innocent persons within the community. On it's journey, the question of friendship,truth,consequences and responsibility become underlying currents in this one act play. The JCCEO YES Ambassadors encourage young people to think before acting on impulses that may result in the destruction of lives,homes and communities.
