Sticks & Stones – The Musical is a one-woman performance which includes multiple characters, music, and poetry and video projection; all within a story about the critical effects of bullying. The two pivotal characters Scott and Lyn, are brother and sister. Each of them is experiencing different problems with bullies, peer pressure and loss of friends. Scott is betrayed after his mother reports the names of his friends who are caught vandalizing. Lyn is called “a snitch” after a derogatory website is discovered. When Lyn’s best friend befriends the school bully, the situation spirals out of control.
Sticks & Stones is an original play commissioned by Tilles Center For the Performing Arts. Previously presented in workshops on Long Island, the development of the play and public performances have been supported by The United States Department of Justice and the Gilbert and Rose Tilles Endowment For The Arts.
