TACT members are high school students from the Dallas area who perform original theatre pieces about issues that influence today’s youth -- including self-esteem, peer pressure, teen pregnancy, dating violence, and alcoholism and drug abuse. The cast of peer educators perform throughout the year at area schools, churches, synagogues, social service agencies and conferences.
They even produce their own media pieces (these examples via YouTube) to address issues like "Sex-Ed MYTHS," "abstinence only vs. comprehensive sexuality education" -- and "what they learned in school."
Their performances present current, medically accurate information. To remain current each summer members go through a training process with local professionals in each of the areas covered in performance. We want TACT to be a learning and a growing experience for all involved -- cast, audience and staff!
“I am so proud to tell people about my experience with the TACT troupe, because it’s such a unique and powerful organization that makes a huge difference… not only was TACT a fantastic experience, but it has opened the doors for so many other great experiences.”
––Sarah, TACT alumnus
