Our Audience Responds

Audience Member, Age 14Audience Member, Age 14Bethel

"I saw the play when it came to Bethel last year. I was just as moved watching it a second time. It goes to show how well you're presenting your message to the audience. I hope you continue what you're doing and that it starts a movement to end suicide."
